Fairy tales won over science: a man must die today
#24
RE: Fairy tales won over science: a man must die today
The execution of Troy Davis was protested by religious and non religious people all over the world. The matter was one of wanting a re-trial to present new evidence which was denied, not one of setting the man free. When it comes to the death penalty, the finality of the sentence makes it especially important that all evidence is weighed, even if that evidence surfaces later. A posthumous pardon is of use to no-one. If even several death penalty supporters call out for a stay, then there must be a case to be made surely.


Too late now anyway.
Best regards,
Leo van Miert
