Seventy Years On, an Executed Boy Is Cleared of Murder Charges
George Stinney, a Black 14-Year-Old, Was Sent to the Electric Chair for Killing Two White Girls

Once again, we have another glaring example about the death penalty.

There’s no such thing as a “reversible error”.

Humans make mistakes. Humans are corrupt. Humans are stupid.

SO why would we EVER think that our “system of injustice” would not be flawed?

Project Innocence only looks into cases where the prisoner is alive and look how many errors they find!

Argh!

Merry Christmas.
