Not only has the key eyewitness recanted, even the prosecutor thinks they got it wrong. People need to realize that as long as there is capital punishment, there will be some innocent people put to death. To say otherwise is pure folly. This case appears to be one of those cases. This is the main reason I am against capital punishment - you can't fix mistakes!

Are you against automobiles too? A tremendously larger number of innocent persons are killed in vehicle accidents than are executed unfairly. That might be a worthwhile undertaking, to crusade against automobile murders. We are all better off with this 26 year old (not teenage) offender TU in a dirt-nap.

Please try and put together a reasoned argument - I know it can be tough.

There just might be a slight difference between somebody dying in an auto-wreck vs the state taking away ones life. If you think really, really hard, you just might be able to see what the difference is!
