Yes, he has lost 18 years of his life for a crime he (apparently) did not commit. But he was convicted justly under the law with the evidence that was available at the time. A jury of his peers reviewed the evidence and felt that the evidence was strong enough to put him behind bars for a very long time.
Why should the tax-payers be held responsible? I could understand if they'd been negligent or willfully withheld evidence or something.. but this is evidence that simply wasn't available in 1984. What do you think? That is a hard question, I would have to know more about the prosecution and defense to make a decision. Hijack: But it is cases like this that has me against the death penalty. This happens way too often for my comfort. -------------- Ian Skinner Web Programmer BloodSource www.BloodSource.org Sacramento, CA --------- | 1 | | --------- Binary Soduko | | | --------- "C code.
