Perhaps you might want to read the entire article, carefully, with an open mind. The point was that a statute existed for due process and Johnson was denied that due process. If it was denied for him, it could be denied in the future for any other defendant. Due process is important because, believe it or not, there ARE innocent people being convicted every day. The majority of them are people of color.

Also, when the state is killing one of its citizens, it would behoove the state to dot its i's and cross its t's. Other citizens should care whether those i's and t's are being dotted and crossed, regardless of the specific crime in question and their certainty of the defendant's guilt.
