If there's a thread on this, I missed it. Sort of surprised that there isn't one, though. If you don't know the story, you should read up on it. Today could be the last day of his life. If that's the case, what a complete travesty for the US judicial system. I don't think anyone was ever intended to be executed amid such enormous doubt. Among those calling for his clemency are: Desmond TuTu, the Pope, Fmr. President Jimmy Carter, Bob Barr, William Sessions and the Fmr. Deputy Attorney General under the Bush, Jr. Administration.

With every execution, there are always the same people railing against it because there's a faction of our country that doesn't believe in it.

Facts are that people kill other people in this country and they are found guilty with facts and evidence so they pay the price for it.

His case was heard before the Supreme Court and they did not intervene with what the lower courts had ruled.

The issue of capital punishment itself is not being debated here. It's the application of the death sentence to this particular case.

And his case was not "heard before the Supreme Court. If you're going to have an opinion, at least try to base it on "facts and evidence."
