Rethinking the position on the death penalty is exactly what Illinois is doing. Due to similar sloppiness, several people were on death row for crimes they didn't commit. Only the enterprising work of a Northwestern professor and his students proved the innocence of one of these individuals, and when another case just like it surfaced, the governor decided that the system wasn't working, and we weren't going to execute people when we couldn't be sure we had the right ones.

None of this applies to McVeigh. That was one case where there was no need to hide anything.
