The science was clear: the DNA on the crime scene did not match the one of Marcellus Williams. Death penality is State murder and has to be abolished. The execution of yesterday was the assassination of an innocent black man by US officials.

Legal lynching. Nothing has changed.
@ScientistRebellion it's far cheaper and more human to lock someone in for life than execute them (the process is long and stressful), and there is always the chance that you can appeal when the those in power ain't a bunch of racists
@ScientistRebellion the word you're looking for is "lynching"

@ScientistRebellion

I think there is a fundamental problem with using the term 'innocent man'. People will turn off the messenger when they spend 15 seconds researching and realize he was completely mixed up in this.

Arguing their is a good possibility they are putting to death the wrong perpetrator in this crime which could leave the real murderer out there is how you move the goal posts for people who think they are 'tough on crime'

@zsolt @ScientistRebellion
i think this rests on the maxim of the right to innocence until *proven* guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt. The fact of the prosecutor who secured the conviction doubting the validity of their own conviction effects more than a shadow of doubt, which, if the average American had the courage of their loud convictions, firmly renders the man innocent regardless of legal judgement.

sorry, life calls, will finish this thought later, if ever
@ScientistRebellion The mostly white GOP would like to execute all non-white people. tRUMP and vANCE are hoping to get people in Springfield killed for a talking point for their campaign. These two clowns see talking points as more important than lives of non-white people. No humanity at all. If vANCE really did serve in combat, where is his empathy? Did he trade it for monetary profit and power?

@ScientistRebellion

a legalized linching in the bible belt ...

@ScientistRebellion. It was a message to all black men from all white men in power.
