To me, this case is a great deal for everyone, except for the lawyers who cannot make millions on years of appeals. I am okay with the death penalty, but only if it can be carried out in a reasonable amount of time, which never happens. Some states do not even allow it. In my opinion, it is a good result.

I recall reading somewhere that in the old Soviet system you could be sentenced to death with no set execution date, until uncle Joe (Stalin) decided it was time, every time you heard foot steps you would wonder , visitor , going to the shower ? may be may be not , that sort of treatment could make one nervous

True. I watched a documentary some time back about the Soviet prison system. Not sure if it is still operated the same was under Putin but I wouldn't doubt it.
Under the Soviet system a condemned prisoner wasn't told what their execution date was. One day a couple of very large guards show at the prisoner's cell and take the prisoner out of the cell another room. The room had a tile floor with a drain in the middle. The prisoner was forced to kneel and was then shot in the back of the head.
I have watched other documentaries on the Russian prison system under Putin, and it is a brutal existence. Haven't seen anything on how their executions are conducted.
