pro death penalty

Despite the title of this post, which is a quote from the Special Master’s findings of fact before the State Commission on Judicial Conduct, this report will surely be trumpeted by the pro-death penalty crowd as exonerating Judge Keller.

It’s been twenty years. Two years after the 1989 murder of a Georgia police officer, Troy Davis was convicted and sentenced to die for the crime.

He has still, eighteen long years later, still not been executed.

Former federal prosecutor and noted softie Bob Barr writes an op-ed piece in the NYT:

Robbie Cooper of UrbanGrounds has weighed in at the comments section of my post ‘A Staunch Pro Death Penalty Advocate Responds’.

Jeffrey Deutsch responds to my post “Execution is Proof of Guilt in Texas”:

Hello,

I'm a staunch pro-death penalty advocate.

I can't speak for others, but I for one support every effort to follow up innocence possibilities for any convict, even one who has already been executed.
