There has yet to be proven one instance in modern history of an innocent person being put to death.
Ya know, I have serious mixed feeling regarding state killing, but this case might have changed those feelings. Still, I feel there are some people that must suffer the ultimate penalty for the heinousness of their crime... cop killers and political assassins, child murderers... But damn! To, be so presumptuous as to, make that claim is is the epitome of ignorance. For one-- define "modern history".
Surely, Claude Jones fits your description of "modern". Anyway, that seditious fucktard Rick Perry will have to answer to this state sanctioned wanton murder.
