When the state executed murderer Richard Lee Whitley in 1987, a bit of Tim Kaine died, too
Richmond Times Dispatch ^ | July 12, 1987 | Frank Green

When the state sent 2,500 volts through the body of murderer Richard Lee Whitley on Monday night, a little bit of Timothy Kaine died, too. It's not that Kaine, Whitley's lawyer, thought his client was innocent. Whitley had a long criminal history and had confessed to the 1980 murder and sexual assault of an elderly Fairfax County neighbor.

wo days earlier, while waiting for word on Whitley’s last [chance for a stay of execution, Kaine said, “If Spring Street wasn’t there and the chair wasn’t there, you can still look around Richmond and see an awful lot of pain.

“For somebody who has a view like mine” about life, said the 29-year- old Harvard University law graduate, “the pain is a very real thing. ... Something personal in me will die, too,” when Whitley dies.

“There are a lot of little deaths in that way every day.”]

TOO BAD TIM KAINE DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME EMPATHY FOR THE UNBORN. He is an evil man.

Blah, blah, blah. Cold comfort to the family of the elderly victim who most certainly died a worse death than Kaine’s client.

Well, so much for his legal skills. He was the guy’s lawyer and his client fried real good.

When CINO Kaine received 100-percent ratings from pro-abortion groups, a lot of babies died, too.

I don’t call someone who defends a brutal murderer a “bleeding heart.”

A bleeding heart is what happened to me when a stray kitten wandered into my yard and I ended up taking care of it for the next 18 years (and counting).

A lawyer who tries to get a guilty client off the hood with a lenient sentence or acquittal is someone without empathy.

Hillary got a rapist off scott-free. So why wouldn’t she pick a lawyer who tried to get a murderer off? Even if he isn’t as good a lawyer as she is, since he failed.

The essence of Kaine’s argument against the execution of Whitlley was that Whitley was mentally incompetent to stand trial. I don’t know the law in Virginia (I moved away 30 years ago), but in Georgia the defense must prove that the defendant didn’t know that his actions were wrong or that the defendant cannot assist his lawyer in his defense. It’s difficult to believe Kaine’s claim that neither of these issues came up in the original trial.

IIRC Hitlery got a child rapist free herself.

Oops. That is "off the hook" not "off the hood."

Notice how the reeking gutter filth at the Richmond Times Herald could
not be bothered to describe the crime or even name Whitley’s victim.
(But that’s okay since they are part of the Main Stream Media and not some horrible bloggers).

In a just world we could turn back time and substitute Kaine for Phoebe
Parsons. Whitley could then cut Kaine’s throat, rape his naked body, loot the house, steal his car and then flee out of state and evade the cops for months. Poor, poor Whitley was “mentally disadvantaged”doncha know
and not just a sick degenerate monster defended by an ambitious Harvard huckster.

I guess that is why Hussein Obama can call MUSLIM TERRORISM
