I'm opposed to the death penalty in general, mainly on the historical racial and economic skew of people fried versus people not fried for similar crimes. But, to tell the truth, I found the SC reasoning for reversing itself obscure. They seemed to be endorsing political sensitivity as a legal argument, which seems odd for a mostly conservative court. Or maybe they're getting all squishy on the issue, there was this other recent reversal: Man With Sleeping Lawyer Wins Retrial story.news.yahoo.com , more completely, Supreme Court Sides with Inmate Whose Lawyer Slept story.news.yahoo.com As far as this case goes, the details are pretty unappetizing. There have been much more dubious cases, it's a lot easier to get retarded people to say what you want them to say in interrogation than normal people, and what they say under interrogation conditions can be quite unrelated to the truth, not because they want to deceive, but because they're easily manipulated and want to please.
