How many fucking appeals does one convicted murderer get?

Theoretically as many as they want. A lot of people in prison will just keep filing petition after petition under the post conviction review act because they have nothing better to do with their time and the law allows it. They are almost always summarily dismissed, but the defendants are still allowed to file them.
