Bedau did not say Coleman was innocent. He gave it as an example of a case in which, because the man was dead, many disturbing elements in his case (many people think he was framed) would be left unresolved. That is not a negligible point, applying as it does to all cases in which the defendant is dead, in some of which, had the defendant received life imprisonment, the defendant would have ended up freed. In fact, my personal intuition is that Coleman was guilty. In the case below, I'm convinced that the dead man would have been returned to his life and family as was his co-defendant, who was not executed: Message 17220058
