Unjust Execution
Really sucks to live in a state that ignores the concept of reasonable doubt.
“All across the spectrum of people’s views on criminal justice, there’s near unanimity that this trial was not reliable,” [Yale Law professor Stephen Bright said. “We can’t say with certainty that this man is guilty of this crime. In fact the probability is he is not guilty.”
Oh, the South. I’ve been reading about this case for the last couple of years, but now I actually live in Georgia, which means my taxpayer dollars are funding this execution. I know Virginia has the second-most executions in the country (or did recently, anyway), but it’s different when the case seems so clearly unjust.
