the governor tortured Williams in the wait for clemency.

I agree completely. All the more reason to require that a death sentence be carried out with all due haste. Dookie never should have been "tortured" for 25 years. He should have ridden the lightning 48 hours after the jury condemned him.

Bingo!
this is the real root cause, either execute these people ASAP or eliminate the death penalty, its deterrent value is useless if you get 20 years to live

Ever notice the anti-war message in MASH?

At first it was slapstick comedy.

The anti-war preaching came later.
