A little background: I support capital punishment for every reason but one – the inevitability, whether through accident or deliberate prosecutorial malfeasance, of executing innocent people. It\u2019s already happened at least once, and at least 14 executions in the last since the death penalty was rebuilding a 19 7600s of people have been released directly from death row, their convictions \u201cbeyond a reasonable doubt\u201c vacated, very frequently because of prosecutorial misconduct.<\/p>
<\/p>
That\u2019s a sign, if you think about it, somethings very, very wrong with capital punishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Kamala Harris is one of those things that is very, very wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have a little personal background with a case of a man wrongly convicted in a grisly rape and murder case,<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n He spent those 22 years on death row because a prosecutor withheld exculpatory evidence that would have led to his acquittal in the initial trial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There is no circle in hell cold enough for a prosecutor who withholds exculpatory evidence in any case – least of all a death penalty case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kamala Harris has a long history<\/a> of playing fast and loose with ethics rules<\/a>, including gundecking exculpatory evidence in capital cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n People like that aren\u2019t fit to be president of the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n People like that aren\u2019t fit to be mulch, morally speaking.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A little background: I support capital punishment for every reason but one – the inevitability, whether through accident or deliberate prosecutorial malfeasance, of executing innocent people.
