TB,
When you calculate the number of persons, who are actually, convicted of murder, then subtract the ones that do not get the death penalty, hardly anyone that is "completely" innocent ever ends up on death row. Even then, those that may be innocent of that particular murder, have a record of committing capital crimes but, have gotten off through technicalities. In Graham's case, there was no doubt about his guilt. The, so called, witnesses that were not heard at the trial, told one story then, but later on, at the urging of people like Jackson, or Quanell X, came forward with a completely different version.

Actually, it would be better if we had a sentence option of life in prison with absolutely no chance of parole, but if, and until, we do, the death penalty is necessary, IMO.

With the vociferous way you would conduct yourself, if arrested, you might have to get lucky to even get to death row. ^:)) ~H~
