Read all about it.
I stumbled onto this gentleman's case a while back--a friend who monitors such things almost obsessively brought it to my attention--and have kept an eye for this day. Basically this is why I can't get behind capital punishment in practice (as opposed to theory). Too many question marks, and if you screw it up there's no "undo" button.
I'm not declaring Mr. Davis' innocence, but I do think there are questions. And there's certainly no doubt that for some of our officials involved in the processe of law & order there is a greater emphasis on winning than there is on making sure you get it right. It's almost inherent to the job. You can only be so good at it if you're constantly doubting yourself.
Lastly... I hate turning stuff into a "black" thing (no really), but it does bug the hell out of me that more young black people are aware of R. Kelly and Kobe and gotdamn O.J. Simpson (again) trials than this cat's trial. At least be aware, people. Read a motherf**kin' book!
