19. You know
There are people right now going through the multiple threads about this and pointing out that we don't know for sure that's she's innocent. It so completely misses the point. None of us know for a fact that she was innocent. But, when was that the standard to execute someone? At the very least, if you're going to insist that your vengeful blood lust be satisfied by the state, I'd think you'd want a fairly air tight case. And in the case of Frances Newton I think it's pretty clear it was not.

I'm sorry. I'm just not feeling all that warm and fuzzy towards the Pro DP crowd right now. Knowing that people are executed under the flimziest of pretexts and continue to cling to that position anyway...
