No win situation.

Eventually yes but nobody really can know for sure that they will actually have to get into that chair until just before it happens. There's years of appeals, any of which which might reverse or reduce the sentence, commutations, pardons, heck even the collapse of society could occur. Who knows the Bastille might be stormed again. It happened once, it could happen again.

Yeah that last part is a bit of a stretch but i'd imagine sitting on death row there is a lot of hoping it'd happen.
