You can look at it 2 ways....not enough or too many.  But what difference does it make if nothing realistically happens to them on death row since they sit there for 20+ years not having to worry about the crime, their victims or their victims family, room, board, etc.  I think there are way too many appeals given, I mean come on 20+ years of appeals.

many local libraries have old newspapers and articles but the details would probally be at a minumum newspapers usually dont put all the details you could try the police stations or court houses ask if there is a way of getting the police reports usually that costs money though also find out who the lawyer was that had the case most murders always have lawyers and they usually keep the paper work in case details arrise later on a case.

It depends on where you live. You can go to your local county website if that person has lived in that county for a while and they have ways you can look up what kind of cases they have had. It will give you dates, court dates and what happened. And if you want more specific information it will give you a case number and you can go look it up at the court house because that information is public record.

JeffAV and Queenapachi are answering 'Appeal against Conviction' which is totally incorrect.  Appeal against Sentence - after being convicted by a Magistrate, a Judge and Jury or in fact having pleaded Guilty - is where the appellant (the person appealing)considers the punishment too severe and is in fact asking for a reduction.  There is a facility now in the UK whereby if the Prosecution believes that the sentence of a court was too lenient (low) they can appeal asking that it be increased.   Many years ago if a person appealed against severity of sentence, the appeal court judge had the right to increase the sentence.  This used to prevent many unworthy appeals.

Actually, the case is automatically on appeal.  The appeals court can take as long as it wants to hear the case but if it agrees with the lower court, they have only 30 days to hang him.  There are no more appeals.

If you have been a victim of an inmate, ask the court to inform you about the parole or probation hearings.  They should also inform you when the person is to be released.

Wait and see how long the appeals process takes.\n\nI'm guessing he'll hang on Nov 1st 2008.

It depends what you are appealing at what level-county, state, federal. In the paperwork for whatever it is you are appealing, the process should be listed. If it isn't, contact your local Legal Aid Society.

You need to find a library with microfiche files of old newspapers for that area. If there was a conviction there may also be a record of that in the courthouse where it happened but you would probably have to pay someone to get you that info since it would take some digging through old files by a clerk. \nThat is about it.

if there is grounds for appeal then you can probably find a law firm that will take his case pro bono.\n\nif he's guilty beyond the shadow of a doubt but you feel he is reformed you can appeal to the governor for clemency.  but from what i hear there are an awful lot of non-violent offenders serving very long prison sentences in the united states.  and that is a problem for your justice system and taxpayers to ask how long they will support the building of more corporate prisons and the passing of laws to create more prisons.

You can contact the Federal Public Defender's Office in your area for more information on the petition.  The number is also available from your federal courthouse in your community.

I think you screwed yourself.\n\nYou can file a post-conviction appeal if you have the grounds for one (such as incorrect application of the law during sentencing) but I wouldn't hold out much hope for your winning it.

Unfortunately i dont think there is a 'pardon' in the UK. THe only thing to do would be to appeal against the conviction, but i explained the appeal bits in anotehr of hte questions. (i'd just like to make you aware that i am not a professional lawyer. I realise i have answered your 3 questions, to the best of my own knowledge, but i am still a student, and still have much to learn. I would like to help as best i can, my email is foo_fighters_fan_2002@yahoo.co .uk if you wish to talk to me further)
