I particularally liked the lack of protests to his execution.

You refering to that black guy who killed that cop and everybody was protesting for the cop killers release?

[Brenda]

Not necessarily for his release. A stay and a new trial would have done. When 7 out of 9 witnesses say their testimony was bullshit and a jury member says "If I knew then what I know now, I would have given a not-guilty verdict", when a lie-detector test request was denied, when the police never heard the pastor he spent 4 hours with just after the officer was shot, and when a death sentence is given over only eye-witness testimonies, and no DNA had linked him to the crime scene, you know something is not right.

[DrCaleb]

What she said. ^^

One needed a second look; the other needed a quick, unceremonious
death.

Edit; Not even anti death penalty groups had a problem with this execution, is more what I am referring to.

If this had been a black racist (and yes the do exhist) I'm pretty sure we'd have been seeing the protest signs outside the prison manned by this overyly moralistic crowd of the "do as I say not as I do bunch".

Strange how when it suits their poltical agenda, they stay feckin silent about something they claim is morally wrong on supposedly all counts.

Well folks the only thing morally wrong here is the phonies who champion the anti death penalty stance and then fail to follow thier own stated beliefs when they're at odds with their wishes.

Hypocrites.

BTW, I'm glad the prick was put out of our misery, but that's a whole other topic.

Hypocrites.

Possibly.

However, the case of black killed in Georgia after a number of witness recanted their testimony, with no murder weapon found, and the guy willing to submit to a polygragh test are all very good reasons for a very pro-capital punishment guy to knuckle under to the arguments of those opposed to the death penalty.

This is the example they will cite for their side and they will be right.

Prisoners on death row in Texas lose right to a special last meal

Texas prison officials have stopped the practice of letting condemned inmates choose their last meal after a prominent state senator complained about the expansive request from a man executed this week for his role in a notorious dragging death.

Lawrence Russell Brewer, who was executed Wednesday for the hate crime slaying of James Byrd Jr. more than a decade ago, asked for two chicken fried steaks, a triple-meat bacon cheeseburger, fried okra, a pound of barbecue, three fajitas, a meat lover’s pizza, a pint of ice cream and a slab of peanut butter fudge with crushed peanuts. Prison officials said Mr. Brewer didn’t eat any of it.

I find that funny, in a weird way
His last chance to fuck with the system, and he succeeded...

If I would have been on death row, I would have ordered typical Dutch food, that would be out of season. Just to mess with the system, since I wouldn't give a shit about me anyway anymore.

This is where people who think DNA can solve every crime are wrong. What would DNA prove? AFAIK, there's no dispute that this guy was at the scene, just that somebody else fired the gun. Absence of DNA doesn't prove he wasn't there - where exactly was he supposed to have deposited his DNA? And presence of DNA wouldn't prove he did the crime unless the prosecutions case is that he was the only one there except for the victim.

But this is the kind of case that should give the pro-legal murder people pause. All this "we should only execute if we're sure the person is guilty." Well, doesn't look too sure in this case.

[Brenda]

I don't think I ever said DNA can solve every crime. There's no dispute this guy was at the scene? Really? How? Because those 9 eye witnesses who where there too? 7 of them changing their statements?
There is NOTHING (afaik) that put him there.

Nope... to really mess with the system, he should have killed himself before being caught, and even killed his accomplices. That way, he would have deprived the state of the trials and the executions.

Did they change their statements that he was at the scene or that he was the one doing the shooting?

Explain how the absence of his DNA explains anything either for or against guilt in this case?
