Will the Supreme Court Save Richard Glossip?

  • The fate of the death row inmate—who almost everyone believes is innocent—is finally being decided by the highest court in the land.

“No matter which side of the Glossip case the Supreme Court ultimately agrees with, state leaders will be forced to answer why Oklahoma has insisted on executing a man without considering new and potentially exculpatory evidence,” Brett Farley, the executive director of Catholic Conference of Oklahoma, which opposes the death penalty, told The Free Press. “It’s simply indefensible.”

Sorry but until we can undo a “death sentence” “We, The Sheeple” should NEVER permit the Gooferment to kill.  Humans make mistakes; it’s inevitable.  Thus, “innocence” should always be grounds for an appeal.  I don’t care about the “rules of procedure”.  If one can advance evidence of innocence, then that should always DEMAND a judicial review.

As I have blogged before, the only reason for the Gooferment to be permitted to kill a human is if that human is too dangerous to exist (i.e., a convicted murdered kills a guard).  I like the French’s Devil’s Island.  Surely we have some vacant land out in the wilderness for a version of this?
