A question crying out to be asked...and answered

So is this how we mete out justice in America now? A man is railroaded into a guilty verdict in a murder trial. He’s sentenced to death. Later, witnesses change their stories or recant them altogether amid allegations of police coercion. Yet the verdict and the man’s date with an executioner remains unchanged.

Is this really what we’ve become? Are we really so bloodthirsty and inflexible that we would execute a man despite a growing and increasingly difficult to ignore mountain of evidence that may well speak to his innocence?

Is this who we want to be?
