Heartless!
posted by The Sailor @ 5:37 PM Permalink JustUs Scalia has stated that the state murdering innocent people is Constitutional:(warning PDF)This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is “actually” innocent.While no one is innocent, some folks are not guilty of the crimes they've been charged with. To date, 241 people have been exonerated and released.
I question whether someone who is innocent of the crime, but has been convicted and sentenced to DEATH, has had a 'full and fair trial.'
Now, for some brain bleach:
