To Think A Man Should Not Be Executed...

[DontCallMeFrothyDragon]

When there's this much doubt surrounding the case?

(Well, I'm anti-death penalty, regardless... BUT this is ridiculous)

this is the first time i have had to find out any news.

It is usually guilt you are supposed to prove not innocence!

Appalling. Have sent a message via Amnesty. Forgive me for being all Emperor's New Clothes about this, but what is the fucking point in executing someone who isn't actually guilty? Apart from politicians scared for their careers if they dare to admit that something has gone desperately wrong, of course. Cowards.

Yes janey, he was innocent until proven guilty. He was proven guilty at the original trial. After that you have to prove innocence.

It is tragic. As I said earlier, I'm afraid I didn't lose any sleep over the execution of Lawrence Brewer on the same day, but this...too much doubt. Far too much.

I sent a message through Amnesty too. So hard to think of what to say.

As an Amnesty supporter unable to spare money for donations I try to contribute now by doing the letter writing/e-mailing side. I did e-mail re TD because it was an affront to justice and civilised society - not because TD was a good guy (of that I am in no position to judge). It is the principle and the world that my DCs will grow up in that preoccupies me. Now with the internet too we should all be able to do our bit and not walk by on the other side...
