Re: Death Penalty , should this guy die ?
Just been reading the local rag. Looks like another murder conviction, this one thirty two years old is about to be overturned. The accused was a common criminal who later had the audacity to take his own lawyer hostage! Erin Walsh, who is dying of colon cancer, says "I'm no angel. Believe me, I'm a terrible person ... But I was in prison for a crime I did not commit." And this cannot be dismissed as an isolated incident. If we had capital punishment, this guy would have been swinging at the end of a rope 32 years ago.
