Yes. I cannot say enough about how strongly I condemn this result. I will not say, condemn the people involved, because I think they are acting in good faith to protect lives (the lives of those on death row) without any insight into the collateral harm of their actions - innocents far from any homicide trial or penitentiary. And this again illustrates my fundamental thesis with respect to the death penalty: the death penalty deeply affects many, many people beyond the obvious.Frelga wrote:Well, I do have to say that people who are trying to prevent death penalty at the cost of innocent lives are... misguided seems a bit mild a word.
(Understand: that thesis is neither necessarily an anti-death penalty nor a pro-death penalty thesis. It just asks people to be more aware of the many people whom the death penalty as it currently exists affects, people who are invisible in the current discourse. Once aware, people may choose to be pro- or anti-death penalty, but they will do so with a much greater awareness of death penalty realities.)
