2. Execute him, but only after due process is achieved

My first bias is towards due process of law. I have no problem with the death penalty. In fact, I think we should use it against white collar supercriminals, but the most important thing to me is due process: no incompetent attorneys, all appeals are exhaused, no police tampering with or witholding evidence or forced confessions. All the rules of justice must be followed. If it takes 15 years to execute someone to ensure that due process has been exhaused, then so be it.
