Why I don’t like the death penalty

Silent Running blogs an open letter to Haley Barbour, Governor of Mississippi regarding the death sentence given to Cory Maye who shot a police officer when they raided the wrong house, and illegally entered his house using a no-knock warrant.

There may well be more to the story that is conveyed in the blog post, but it is certainly enough to make me glad that we can reverse our miscarriages of justice.
