“If I may just touch on what happened. It just so happened that yesterday the Governor of North Carolina, Jim Hunt, a Democrat, had a luncheon for all the Members of the Congress here in Washington, DC. He had sent us a letter 2 days before about a person in North Carolina who spent 13 years on death row. The individual had kidnapped three cheerleaders at a small college in North Carolina, three girls, put them in the trunk, took one out, raped her, and then killed her. He spent 13 years on death row through all these endless appeals. That is why people are sick and tired of it. The Governor of North Carolina in his letter to us and also at the luncheon yesterday said that we need to end these endless appeals. I think in our contract we are talking about a 2-year limit.”
