How many innocent people are you willing to lock up for life?

Are you saying that executing innocent people is preferable to life imprisonment?

On the flip side, how many murderers do you want to put on the street to prevent an innocent man from being convicted. So you want to change a cornerstone of the US legal system. Use a wide net that might catch some of the innocent, but it's OK as long as you get all the guilty.

Like I said in my last post - just trying to get an idea of where you want us to go as a society. It's not pretty.

As far as dealing with the court load, I'd create new courts at the federal district level, that would be designed to have the capacity to deal with the projected caseload. You almost always post about cutting spending on just about everything, and now that I give you a difficult problem, your answer is to throw money at it.
