Judges can decide more appeals if the evidence is there. You can't just you've had your appeal if new information has come to light. Also 7% of people on death row have since been acquitted of their crimes, you want to reduce the chances of this happening. We've had cases of people on life terms who've latter been found not guilty. The risk of killing innocent people isn't worth it and the cost isn't worth it.
