What ridiculousness!!

I fully support Capital Punishment. If the Louisiana authorities had had an airtight case, they would have followed the constitution and brought these “yoots” to trial in front of a jury, gotten a death sentence and then hung ‘em high

I would be all in favor of that. Heck, I live in Texas, where we fry ‘em every week down in Huntsville.

40 years in solitary is not justice. It is torture. And just like slavery, there is NO need of context. It just is.

A difference of opinion is not ridiculousness.
It is the foundation of a free society.
Deal with it.

For a short while the Supreme Court created a "no death penalty" regime. I think that period overlaps with the crimes these guys commited.

Obviously the Court should have allowed them all to be retried and then executed.

I'd check the calendar on this case before passing around blame.
