twelve years later

A story in the New York Times today about the fact that there is significant doubt as to the guilt of a San Antonio man executed 12 years ago. There are too many flaws in our justice system - in any human organization - to execute people. There is no recourse, no escape hatch. I don't think we should execute people even if we have complete certainty about their guilt; life is too precious.

Anyway, you can read the story here. Registration may be required.
