More like the surpreme court set a date for the appeal and the state realized they'd have to "get er done" before then.

I realize I'm just devil's advocating it up at this point, but the Georgia Supreme Court already spent most of the last year hearing his appeal. We might not be justified in ignoring their decision based on a secondhand account of the situation.

So, yes?

This is why I'm anti-capital punishment. The amount of resources needed to generate the certainty necessary to kill a man is far too costly for the benefit it provides.

**nicholai** · 2008-09-23 16:34

Oh common who doesn't like a good murder! I mean righteous killing of a murder! ah who am i kidding i just like to see people die! public hanging go go! Oh and lets reinstate the public fights to the death in a Colosseum! Man that place would be packed!

This, combined with the certainty that we've executed innocent people in the past and will again, make capital punishment completely ridiculous.

For now.

This story is really shady and he probably did do it... but yeah, can't convict w/o being 100% sure, etc.

**Beckwin** · 2008-09-23 17:37

yay!

Many had asked Georgia to grant Davis a new trial: celebrities like Susan Sarandon, Harry Belafonte and the Indigo Girls; world leaders such as former President Carter, Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Pope Benedict XVI; and former and current U.S. lawmakers like Bob Barr, Carolyn Moseley Braun and John Lewis.

That's my guy!

Incidentally, Obama supports the death penalty.

**Brill Weave** · 2008-09-23 17:45

lol officer macphail

Who didn't see that one coming lol.

**pohibaba** · 2008-09-23 17:46

Barr is still a "strong supporter" of the death penalty, too. Just not in this particular case.

**Kuya** · 2008-09-23 17:50

Oh god, politicians, lol.
