Many of my conservative friends believe in the rightness of capital punishment. They know to their core that it is the right thing to do. I, on the other hand, hear stories like Alton Logan s and I know that we are fallible. I know that we make mistakes. I know that good lawyers can get their guilty clients off. Bad lawyers have trouble keeping their innocent clients out of jail. So, this brings us to Mr. Alton Logan. He was accused of shooting and killing a security guard back in 1982. It is unclear from reports how Mr. Logan came to the attention of the police. The bottom-line was that he was arrested for this murder. He was tried. His mother and brother were his alibi s. He was at home asleep in bed. Asleep was his defense. Heck, I know the end of this tale and I don t believe asleep. He was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Alton Logan always said that he didn t do it. 26 years later, 2 lawyers come forward with an affidavit from 26 years earlier. Their client Andrew Wilson told them that committed the crime but because they were his lawyers they were ethically bound not to say anything. They were quiet for 26 years. Although Bob Simon tries to beat up the lawyers for not coming forward before now, they did do the right thing. ShareThis

The New York Times just reported that one out of 100 US adults are currently in jail. We wanted to find out if that s a lot or a little?

I object to the death penalty on a number of fronts. First, is it being applied fairly? If not then we have a system problem. Secondly, do high profile cases get different treatment? For example, if someone is accused of killing a highly respected businessman are they more or less likely to get the needle? Thirdly, does the race of the assailant matter? What about the race of the victim? Finally, how often are we wrong? How often have to put an innocent man or woman to death? If the answer is never then the system works well. If the answer is sometimes but we don t know the number then that s a problem. I know that all of these questions are related to fairness. Anyway, the supreme court heard arguments about whether lethal injection is cruel and unusual punishment earlier this week. Even if the cocktail is painful, the pain only lasts a couple of minutes at most. Hell, getting stuck with a needle is painful. I think that the Supreme Court is missing the point. If we are going to be in the business of executing those that deserve execution then we need people skilled in field of executions. There should be trained personnel that aren t doctors or nurses but something else. They should be the ones that decide what drugs to use. They should be the ones who start the IV and administer the drugs. They should have a couple of a couple of years of training after college. - From NYT: With conservative justices questioning their motives and liberal justices questioning their evidence, opponents of the American manner of capital punishment made little headway Monday in their effort to persuade the Supreme Court that the Constitution requires states to change the way they carry out executions by lethal injection. Donald B. Verrilli Jr., the lawyer for two inmates on Kentucky’s death row who are facing execution by the commonly used three-chemical protocol, conceded that theoretically his clients would have no case if the first drug, a barbiturate used for anesthesia, could be guaranteed to work perfectly by inducing deep unconsciousness.  (more ) capital punishment, conservative justices, cruel and unusual punishment, death penalty, death row, Legal, lethal injection
