What my problem with your thread is that you make it sound as if only Black Americans are put to death in the country and that all whites walk free. Blacks are obviously over represented.

Statistics: http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/race-death-row-inmates-executed-1976

To suggest, that the fact he was only put to death because of his race is oversimplifying the situation an changing the arguement from the real issue at hand. Did this MAN commit murder or not. This man was put to death because he was an accussed of murder. The issue of this thread should not be about race since in the end he was just a man.

The main issue of this thread isn't whether or not he was guilty (since it's something we obviously can't determine), but whether or not the evidence used to convict him was adequate. You can't convict someone with circumstancial evidence and false testimonies. The question is: why did this happen? And why doesn't it happen in other cases (e.g. Casey Anthony).

Because a cop died. American justice system tends to get pretty pissed off if a cop gets killed on duty. I mean, dont you watch OZ ?

No, I have never seen Oz. The fact that the victim was a cop should make no difference, accordign to their justice system.

Idealism = Delusion
