The Supreme Court has ruled in cases such as Furman v. Georgia, 1972, Gregg v. Georgia, 1976, and Gardner v. Florida 1977, that sentencing someone to death is unique and requires a “super due process” (Costanzo & White, 1994). Costanzo and White also state that another defense to streamlining the system in that there are a significant amount of cases on death row that are appealed and overturned and that “a streamlined system presumably would allow some percentage of these cases to “slip through" to the death chamber” (1994). This evidence suggests that streamlining the system to reduce cost is not a valid solution. It leaves room for too much error and the courts have made it so that death penalties have to be carefully
