        Where'd we ever settle on the phrase "puts a person to death"? Arkansas killed Ledell Lee with poison. Just call it what it is.

        His lawyer was drunk. The judge had an affair with the prosecutor. This is disgusting.

        Well done!! Don't look at the execution itself but the reason for exciting it! The Crime is far worse than the punishment! Get rid of thugs!

        But there are lots of unanswered question in this case. He had an intoxicated lawyer, the judge was sleeping with the prosecutor,

        and potentially exculpatory evidence went untested. Physical evidence was circumstantial, other key piece of evidence was witness ID,

        Which is known to be inaccurate, especially when it crosses racial lines. Now, whoever committed this crime is a huge piece of shit.

        But I'm not certain this man wasn't a victim of a biased court and a biased police force, especially given where this occurred.

        You calling a man that could be innocent a 'thug' is bias in itself.

        It costs more to execute someone than to keep them in prison for life. Fact.
