Descrição: State capital defendants are more likely to be on death row for an inordinate period, twice the national average, when the case is questionable as a capital prosecution and the processing of the case is defective. The states are responsible for most of the delay that elapses between imposition of a death sentence and the execution of defendants because the states have not established effective post-trial capital case processing systems. Defendants validly argue that their pending executions will impose needless pain and suffering on them in violation of the Eighth Amendment.
