Interesting case. But he's not conclusively innocent. There's some recent doubts about it. I'm asking for a 100% certain innocent person executed. Completely exonerated posthumously.

Do you truly believe that we have never put an innocent man to death in this country?

Regardless, if you are willing to admit the above, you probably agree he should not have been executed.

People aren't found innocent beyond a reasonable doubt. They're found guilty beyone a reasonable doubt.

The problems with the death penalty: a.) there is no recourse if the state is wrong....and they are frequently wrong in all types of cases. b.) It's too much power to give the state.

I'm glad the women in Texas who tortured the 9 year old kid is dead...but I'd rather her live out her life in jail than potentially execute an innocent person.

Here are more instances of people wrongly executed:
Timothy Cole
Lionel Herrera
Ellis Wayne Felker
David Spence
Joseph O’Dell
