How's THIS for swift justice?

This guy in China was convicted on February 1 for mutiple rapes and 67 murders. His trial was ONE hour long and today, only THIRTEEN days later, he was executed. Now I have serious doubts about the communist system, and this would absolutely be too fast in the US, but you've got to give the Chinese a gold star for efficiency. You won't find any drawn out appeals or protracted mental examinations there!
