If the perp had been executed long ago, it wouldn’t be like an innocent man was executed.
However, I understand the bias argument. While I do not like it, I also would seek a retrial and subsequent movement of the perp to the top of the list with a few others still awaiting “Justice”.
Alston said his stepfather was an FBI agent and his father and uncle were retired agents. He didn’t indicate he was a prospective agent himself.
Alston said he was working as a civil attorney, though he had been recently laid off.

Wouldn’t the fact that his family had “FBI blood” already present be enough in itself to disqualify him?
If not, then the fact he was in a transitional state should not be seen as a major violation... but I admit I am not legally trained. Thank God I opted to not pursue law as a life endeavor nor politics.
