But the facts of the case is that he is a murderer whose lawyers have found a minor problem with one excluded juror over the death sentence and convinced an appeals judge to throw out the expensive trial over a death penalty sentencing issue that is now a mute point now that the death sentence had been commuted to life by the governor. The man's case does not warrant any sympathy at all.
This drives me crazy. The word is "moot". Please don't use words unless you understand them completely.
Please don't correct people's typos with unwarranted personal attacks. It was obvious the word "moot" was intended and its use would have be in the perfectly correct context. I'm not the best typist and I make lots of typos and I don't always catch everything, but that is not a call to act like I don't "understand" something with the implication that I'm uneducated. That was uncalled for.
