    No worries, just issue a retraction?

    In seriousness, this shouldn't happen. I know this thread will devolve into nuclear war and then kobe will post about slavery, but this is wrong. I hope our criminal justice system can be reformed, not abolished.

    There's definitely a racial component that some people will fixate on, but the real issue is the state deliberately deciding take a life. Most people should be uncomfortable with that.
    Agree. There's no appeal from death.

    Useless. Can't read the details. I don't subscribe to the NYT nor would I ever.

    The fact is that whenever any national leftard news source deals with a capital criminal case it is usually full of either lies or obfuscation. Go check on the Mumia case. Look at how the George Floyd and Trayvon cases were reported. Anyway, my position is that the death penalty should only be imposed when there is no doubt. It shouldn't take a decade to off Major Hassan and why is Polly Klaas's killer still alive?

    In both of the cases he cited there's no doubt that they convicted the person who committed the murders. Same with Scott Peterson.
