This is the US. You get to appeal. Then appeal again. Then something happens where they stop doing executions for some reason or the other. This opens the door for more appeals.

Diminished capacity

In the United States, there has been an evolving debate as to whether capital punishment should apply to persons with diminished mental capacity. In Ford v. Wainwright,[82] the Supreme Court held that the Eighth Amendment prohibits the state from carrying out the death penalty on an individual who is insane, and that properly raised issues of execution-time sanity must be determined in a proceeding satisfying the minimum requirements of due process. In Atkins v. Virginia,[83] the Supreme Court addressed whether the Eighth Amendment prohibits the execution of mentally ******ed persons. The Court noted that a "national consensus" had developed against it.[84] While such executions are still permitted for people with marginal ******ation, evidence of ******ation is allowed as a mitigating circumstance. However, a recent case of Teresa Lewis who was the first woman executed in Virginia since 1912, proved to be very controversial because Governor Bob McDonnell refused to commute her sentence to life imprisonment, even though she had an IQ of 70.[85][86]

The concept of executing people seems insane to me. It isn't to save money at all, they cost more to take care of because they end up treating the inmates on death row better than normal inmates. Why not just have them rot in jail thinking about how much they ****ed up their life? Unless you are going to kill them by firing squad, in which case that's pretty badass, so go for it.
