Nostalgic for the nineties?
The Georgia Board of Pardons and Paroles has issued a 90 day stay of execution for Troy Davis, whose prosecution for the murder of a police officer has become riddled by doubts just as the period allowed for the appeals process has run its course. That's a good thing, but what about that "period allowed" business?
Well, that's…
...because of a 1996 federal law intended to streamline the legal process in death penalty cases…That became law because Bill Clinton, a death penalty proponent, wanted it to, or at the very least was willing to let it to, and it's a law that, in this case or some other, is likely to result in the eventual execution of an innocent person.
Hillary Clinton frequently expresses pride in her husband's achievements in the White House. Is she proud of this achievement, too?
Seems like a question worth asking.
