You may consider the fact that SOME of us on FR deal in facts to be a personal attack, but most of us don't. He said it; let him back it up; or have you learned nothing being on here for 4 years?

You ARE resorting to ad hominem attack in your arguments here. I'm sorry, but it just looks that way.

And, we don't really need backup for a contention that many people have been convicted that were not guilty, some of them sentenced to death. Do we? I mean, if he were making an off the wall point that we had good reason to question, then okay.

By the way, I think it has been longer than 4 years since I have been posting on FR. I think you and I first met on April 7, 2000 when we were discussing the latest government data on income and taxes that showed the earliest tax freedom day in 37 years (the day in the year we have met our tax obligation to the federal government). Or maybe that was someone else. My memory may be slipping.

If you believe that asking somebody to back up a statement is an ad hominem attack, you'll just have to see it that way.

Now, here at FR we deal in facts; so far, he has said that 400 people were removed from Death Row because of errors, BUT it turns out most of them were removed because state's changed their laws about the death penalty.
