Death Penalty ... Can we trust the judicial process?
If you knew that one man was executed even though he was innocent, would you still support the death penalty? What if there were ten innocent men executed? What about 50? What about 100?
There is no way to tell how many of the over 1,000 people executed since 1976 may have been innocent. Courts do not generally entertain claims of innocence when the defendant is dead. However, there have been 138 death row exonerations. And, how many others are serving long sentences or life sentences that are innocent? I don't know.
In Dallas, TX, 40 cases have received post-conviction DNA analysis. 19 of them were found to be wrongful convictions. That is almost HALF!

Good morning, Jake!
Carol sent Tony a text message this morning that said, “I’d love to have a picture of my baby today if you have time." Within two minutes she received this picture in her email.
