UPDATE: So what if he’s not guilty?

Did the US Government make a fatal mistake?
If it turns out that this man was executed and was innocent, I wonder if that will start pushing America towards the rest of the other first world countries that do not condone the death penalty?
Why doesn’t the fear of death seem to work? Well … there is no “sting” to death in most cases … religion tells everyone (including those that would be condemned) that the next life will be better no matter what, so there isn’t much that keeps people from doing horrible things … I mean, look at the suicide bombers in the middle east … they truly believe (and are willing to die for it) that they are going to a better place when they die and kill infidels …
perhaps torture or public beheadings or something less humane? the pain of dying is the only thing I could think of in this life that would keep people from being evil if they are committed to doing that … in the case of suicide bombers the entire family must pay? 
it’s hard to be fair and kill at the same time 
they are all the same …

no matter what, the GOP and Dems are all the same — shady, crappy career politicians. We really need an overhaul of the system, but before we do that we need to get these lobbyists out of there (hence no more career politicians for them to get all buddy buddy with!) I really hope they can at some point in the near future limit those in congress in the same way they do the president, but that’s just me.
