You think one day journalists will pay this much attention to the most innocent among us who are killed?
-
You realize I'm basically the only reporter who covers all of the legal filings, right? It's what I do.
-
And you're out of your mind if you think my tweeting and five stories on these executions even approaches the # of stories on crime victims.
-
You are fantastic at your job. This isn't about you. And I wasn't referring to the crime victims, but another hotly debated issue re: life.
-
Like, it wasn't so long ago that capital punishment was uncontroversial. I'm wondering if there's a time when that other issue changes too.
