Disinterested posted:Date of Execution: We had this discussion in the law thread. It's from some fantasy book series. It's definitely not (real) Latin. Someone should let the state know!

I'm not a fan of the death penalty, despite being a Texan and a lawyer. But as a human, I understand the desire for vengeance. I'm interested in it through morbid curiosity though. If you really read through that site, not just the ones you can fund linked on buzzfeed or Huffington post "top ten executions" you really find some heartbreaking cases, both on the part of victims, families, and the condemned. Most of the executed give thanks to a (former?) Ut professor who fights death penalty cases hard.

Mister Adequate posted:Oh I'm sorry, I used the term "factual innocence" and states are absolutely interested in an objective and unbiased review of such cases, in no way deliberately sabotaging efforts to demonstrate a wrongful conviction. So the actual legal term factual innocence is not something I can demonstrate and, of course, this means no innocent person, or person whose prosecution falls far short of the truly high bar needed to warrant execution, has ever been executed. All I asked was for an example. I assumed there had been some determination by a court or other official that a factually innocent person had been executed. I was interested in reading about it. I'm sorry if you assumed I was pro or anti death penalty. Hot Dog Day #91 fucked around with this message at 19:19 on Jan 1, 2015 |

Yeah I'm aware of that one. And I know people are sometimes exonerated after years and years in prison, including death row. But if there's an example of someone (in the last 40 years) who has been found innocent to have been executed, I wanted to read about it.

Thanks for the Willingham example. That was an interesting read. I'm a civil attorney and dint follow criminal stuff at all, beyond high profile scotus stuff.
