I'm not saying that Dean is "talking about abolishing due process or the right to a fair trial." I'm saying that what he has said on this issue, as well as his actions as governor of Vermont, have raised alot of misgivings on my part. I am not talking about the death penalty per se so much as I am talking about Dean's statement that winning a new trial on appeal was due to a 'technicality'. I haven't been able to find a transcript of the 1997 interview with the Vermont News Bureau so I haven't addressed those comments here but they trouble me as well. The execution of an innocent person is not the only, but just the most extreme injustice that could arise from this.
