Death penalty discussion

[g5000]

Can we get back to the press!!!!

You cannot narrow a discussion about something as profound and as important as the death penalty to a little box.

This is a bit different than Democrats readers suppose.
I want to talk about the press and how they handle the death penalty.
So if you join in, please keep it to the press and them discussing the penalty.

I have tracked them from maybe once Karla Faye Tucker was still living. When she got executed, I took notice of what the Press had to say.
Days ago a convict was executed in Florida. This was a serious admitted serial killer. Since reports are easy to find now, you all need to read them to really get what I am talking about.

Once you check him out, also look up pending executions to see others in line. That site also shows past executions. When you see a name, check him out. You will learn fast the press has extreme sympathy for the killers.
It will interest me what you think about the press reports.

I believe since the press is left wing, they don't hide their agenda.

Really my beginning of Karla Tucker.
In her case, the media kept focusing on her religious conversion in prison.

Karla Faye Tucker was an American woman sentenced to death for killing two people with a pickaxe during a burglary. She was the first woman to be executed in the United States since Velma Barfield in 1984 in North Carolina, and the first in Texas since Chipita Rodriguez in 1863. Wikipedia
Born: November 18, 1959, Houston, TX
Died: February 3, 1998 (age 38 years), Huntsville Unit, Huntsville, TX

Was Karla the burglar, or was she the victim?

Yesterday two confessed killers were executed in Indiana and Texas.
This topic is not about any of that. It is how the press deals with executions.

The Central Park Five confessed, too.

Thank God the press got involved and helped save their lives.

On the flip side, Donald Trump paid for a full page ad to demand they be executed.

He still won't admit he was wrong.

IF a person says firmly I am guilty, are they innocent?

Texas put down a guy that poured gasoline all over a 76 year old grandmother gas station attendant and set her on fire during a robbery.

Why not stick to the topic? The press!!!!
Still for my believe she picked two victims to death and she admitted it.

Years back the press would spent days discussing that man. He is dead now.

The press is to busy with Donald. And it only took 13 years to put this guy down, That is a record,

See John Slow Horses, that is how to discuss the press.

Again, I'm against the death penalty regardless but here is a case in Oklahoma where the guy would already be dead if not for a mix up in administering the drug (which in itself is another argument against the death penalty).

The prosecutor owns up to the fact that a previous prosecutor allowed the main witness to lie on the stand (which should have got the prosecutor prosecuted but didn't).

The entire set of facts are at best questionable but the jury still had found for the death penalty.

There is no doubt others have been convicted on the same sort of corrupt prosecutorial misconduct.

AG says Richard Glossip will be retried again but no longer faces death penalty

The U.S. Supreme Court reversed Richard Glossip's conviction in February.
