What worries Rowan and other defense attorneys is the possibility that an innocent man could be executed

Yeah, sure.

A case here in MO had turned me into a very limited death penalty proponent. There are some cases where it's called for, if there's absolutely no possible doubt... But when you're dealing with eye-witness testimony, then no, no way...

In MO there was an assistant prosecutor who actually said that an innocent man should be put to death because he had gotten a fair trial and found guilty - and this was AFTER proof of his innocence had been discovered and revealed. Check out the case of Joseph Amrine. I know the lawyer who handled his appeals. That did it for me.

Mark

my remark was directed toward the possibility that any such thing could possibly worry a lawyer, not that in fact innocent people are put to death -- I've no doubt about that. In fact, over 40,000,000 innocent people in the US have been put to death by legalized abortion since 1973.

With such wholesale disregard for even the most defenseless, innocent life, why would anyone be surprised the wicked remarks of the wicked prosecutor?
