my initial reaction is TN might have executed an innicent man, especially after I read his words from his websote below

It is unusual for a condemned man to plead innocence all the way to his execution. It must be troubling to the victims' families as well.

That is one of the most asinine statements I have ever read! Do you get your ideas about jurisprudence from movies and TV shows? Don't you know that NO ONE in prison is guilty of a crime, based on their own testimony.

No, that’s not true. However, his case seems “fishy” and his personality doesn’t give any hints of taint.

Really?, and your source is what Boston Legal or Perry Mason?

and on what do you base this? look up Roger Keith Coleman... Time Magazine put him on the cover of their magazine before he was executed... he was executed in 1992--claiming his innocence... further DNA tests were done in 2006... proving his guilt...

i will never forget that magazine cover... i found a copy of it on the following link:
