"More than 600 inmates are currently on California's death row awaiting execution."

Don't see a backlog like that in Florida or Texas!
Governments owe it to the people to have fair trials, then swift and sure execution of people like Westy.

Same with Oklahoma! Time to clean out that backlog in CA IMO!

Found it interesting that the Judge remarked about Danielle's blood found on clothing of Westerfield. I probably missed that before, but found it telling!

"Don't see a backlog like that in Florida . . . .!"

I wish you were right, but you're unfortunately quite wrong about Florida. Executions are basically at a snail's pace. Not like California, but I know for instance of one murderer, Tommy Zeigler, still sitting on Florida's death row and his 4 murders were committed in the 70's. And he's not unique.

Thank God that Jeb has appointed two conservatives to the Florida Supreme Court! Add Charlie Wells, and all we need is one more justice to have a conservative 4-3 majority.
