I hope and pray that this will be the innocent person we have been waiting for. This is what it will take to get rid of these damn State Murders! Hi Kathy!! I understand what you are saying, but I don't think it is a good idea to pray that an innocent person was executed yes you are right erick .... at least one pro who care about the "collateral damage" ... (well theres a few more pros who do ).. Mo-DAWG

death penalty opponents say it would be the first time in the history of the American death penalty that an executed convict is scientifically shown to be innocent. THE FIRST TIME? We have the biggest DUMB ASS GOVERNMENT on the face of the natural free world! Sorry for the language but, I USED TO BE pro-death-penalty, and I even criticized that one preacher from the CRYSTAL CATHEDRAL for being what I thought was a "turn-coat" for turning AGAINST the death penalty. But I can't help it....after reading this article, let's just say I am BEYOND PISSED OFF!! Then I suggest COLEMAN'S family file a "WRONGFUL DEATH" lawsuit against the BLOOD SUCKING LAWYERS that let this cat down

Alright Erick, I'm reposting your link being that I moved this article to the debate area.
Next time rather that debating in a support area, repost in the debate area.
Thanks, Suzanne

Virginia's governor is preparing to order DNA tests that could show that a coal miner executed for a rape-murder in 1992 did not commit the crime. If the tests, which Democratic Gov. Mark Warner is expected to order before he leaves office in mid-January, clear Roger Coleman, death penalty opponents say it would be the first time in the history of the American death penalty that an executed convict is scientifically shown to be innocent.
Just the fact that someone "official" is actually looking at the case after the execution has already happened is totally outstanding.

Just the fact that someone "official" is actually looking at the case after the execution has already happened is totally outstanding. You got that right! And thank goodness there is DNA to test. Look at Johnny Frank Garrett: "Quackenbush said Erdmann discarded semen samples taken during Benz's autopsy. At Garrett's trial Erdmann testified he threw the samples away because no one told him to save them, Quackenbush's letter states." source: texasmoratorium.org/article.php?sid=762Also here is an interesting site about Garrett: www.bloodshedbooks.com/tour.php?category=Current+Legal+Proceedings#Y'all really need to read the legal proceedings. You will find them very interesting. hugggz, Suzanne

How much does one want to bet that:
A. The evidence has been determined to be untestable.
B. The evidence has been accidently disposed of or destroyed.
C. Both A & B through some convoluted reasoning.

The company in California said recently that they have it and are redy to test it.
His previous convictions are for attempted rape and flashing.
Love and hugs, Judy

Judy,
I think you are right. Unfortunately, even with evidence of innocence or "near misses," only a few people will be moved to oppose the death penalty. Compelling evidence already exists on a number of cases.
The issue appears to be wrapped up in notions that (1) only "bad" people go to prison, (2) "bad" people SHOULD be in prison, (3) "bad" people should be severly punished, and (4) that the welfare of "bad" people should not be of concern to your or I because so many good people need our attention and help.
On its face, these notions appear perfectly normal and logical. They are part of the fabric of all societies. If there is to be change, we need to look at the individuals who commit violent crime as sick rather than bad. We need to remind people that a "fair" judicial system does not mean an omipotent and perfect one. Mistakes do occur in the system, and even innocent, "good" people can be ensnared.

even if the results show that he did this crime, it does not mean that innocent people have not been executed because they have. Like Jesse Tafero, for instance - just to dig into history a little. He was convicted on the same evidence as Sonia Jacobs, who in 1992 was released from death row. By that time Tafero had already been executed.
