Reminds me of little Johnnie what's-his-name from NC...setting himself up to play with the big boys. The arrogant notion of these dimwits who think that they stand a cold chance in you-know-where of ever being elected U.S. President...well, it's just nauseating!
>>>ROFL - they can't even spell semen...
Yeah, the murderers left a bunch of little sailors swimming around in the victims body. Jeez.
Have you ever noticed the spelling challenged over DUmmieland compared to FR? Not that we don't have the occasional goof, but it's not as fourth grade illiterate as over there.
Thank GOD, Mark Furman didn't have anything to do with the case.
>>>It wouldn't be that difficult for somebody to switch samples, and suddenly they have the proof they're looking for. >>>
Switch samples with who or what?? So the lab ran out and figured out the person who REALLY did it and grabbed some of his "seamen" to match to the victims?
Did you really think this through?
I took a trip on the anti death penalty web sites.
Attorney had written a lengthy article. Said the tactics we have been using are not working. Public opinion hasn't shifted in 30 years.
Also said quit trying to humanize those on death row. Nobody wants to see the fuzzy side of Charles Manson.
Also said, face it. Most of them are guilty as hell.
Dontcha know the guilty ones are always innocent, or so they claim
AHA - Bush ordered Navy Seal operation and set up.
Seriously, have never been to DU land, I live in Canada, that's abundant liberal exposure for any healthy person to endure.
Absolutely this news will disappoint the MSM and the LEFTISTS who not ONLY THRIVE on bad news BUT LOVE IT and HOPE for it.
The despicable LEFT has NOTHING to offer by doom and gloom and I thank Ronald Reagan for exposing the left for what it is and for CEMENTING them in their putrid negativism for the past 25 years.
Will the MSM give as much press to the results as they did in anticipation? I wonder.
Obviously, one case does not in any way reflect on the correctness of the other 1,000 executions we've had in the last 30 years," said Peter Neufeld, co-founder of the Innocence Project. "Other governors should take their lead from Governor Warner and do post-execution testing in their cases, because ... there's no reason not to _ it's all about getting to the truth."
NO ACTUALLY IT DOES AND I EXPECT A QUICK APOLOGY TO THE VICTIMS FAMILY FOR YOUR STUPIDITY AND IGNORANCE
I was told as a little boy that even the worst sins can be forgiven if you repent. But bad things happen to people who don't admit their sins, repent and seek God's forgiveness.
I guess the priest who pushed this case for a decade wasn't successful in getting across the importance of admission and repentance.
In that sense, the priest made a fundamental mistake. His primary concern should not be our worldly problems but rather our eternal salvation.
Pray for forgiveness, Father.
All they have to do is replace the sample from the crime scene with any other sample. Suddenly, we have "proof" that the system executed an innocent man.
The anxiety to find an innocent person who has been executed has nothing to do with locating the guilty. It's about proving the American system of justice to be unjust, and by implication all of American society.
Really? Sailors were left at the crime scene?
Funny you should say that:
http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/metro/20041128-931-dna.html
Four years ago, the county District Attorney's Office undertook the project, unprecedented for a local prosecutorial agency. It decided to review the convictions of hundreds of people it sent to prison before 1993 to see if DNA testing would shed new light on the cases.
After reviewing 766 cases of San Diego County convicts who assert their innocence, not one has been exonerated. Two cases remain – both involving men on death row – and authorities say they doubt the results will be surprising.
Hopefully, our state legislatures will pass laws requiring that any feasible DNA tests be conducted before people are executed on a going forward basis. As a death penalty proponent, the last thing I want to see is for even one provably innocent person to be executed.
bttt
1 in 19 million. so you're sayin' there's a chance? freee him!!!! he might be innocent (sarcasm)
If before we executed him, we'd held out for absolute indisputable proof that this guy was guilty, satisfactory to the leftwing nutcases, he'd still be alive, and justice would not have been done. Beyond a reasonable doubt got the job done, though.
Aha! I predicted this would happen. Although people say that DNA testing is setting those wrongfully convicted free, the unreported truth is that DNA testing is convictings tons of people. There was also a case a couple of years ago where an inmate said up and down he was innocent and that DNA testing would prove him innocent. Of course the DNA test that followed showed he was guilty to the bone.
They meant that he was apprehended by some sailors.
