[QUOTE="SoonerP226, post: 2669584, member: 26737"] From what I've read, that one is murky as hell, but even if we accept the proposition that he was innocent, and that the others listed as "innocent" on that Wikipedia page are, in fact, innocent, the point remains that it is far from clear that "innocent people are being put to death by the courts every year." Five executions of possibly innocent people in forty years is a far cry from innocent "people" being put to death "every year." I do find it telling that, of all the executions in Oklahoma over the last 20+ years, all of the protests have been over some side issue--none have been that the executed [I]didn't[/I] commit the crime.
