Concerning a “Flagrant conflict of interests”:
It’s always a sad day when the state puts someone to death. The fact that the crime was so long ago makes it even more sad, but it is the price we pay for the slow grinding wheels of justice. The accused trial wasn’t perfect but it was fair. One can always argue what might have happened.
Those who deplore the death penalty need to convince those who believe in it that it is unjust. Until then it looks like some will continue to cast dispersion on the legal system and those who administer it while the victim and the victim’s family continue to be denied justice.
