Sorry, I missed your comment. I'm rooting for Laffey, big time!
No problem. It was a couple of teeny lines in a huge thread. Chaffee sounded like an idiot. Once upon a time an innocent person was executed in RI so I am forever against the death penalty because I need to be consistent. How incredibly dumb. So if he sees his own family member murdered in front of his face and he has to be consistent about the death penalty even if he knows to a certainty that the killer is guilty. He is just against the death penalty, period. It has nothing to do with the mistake, which we all deplore.
