He was executed after exhausting more avenues than most get (because he happened to black. God forbid we execute a black criminal). If in all those appeals he was still executed, what does that say?
Currently 44% of all death row inmates are black, and 440 black inmates have been executed since 1976, approx. 35% of ALL executions in that time. Given that blacks make up roughly 12% of the population, I think it is clear that we, as a nation, have absolutely NO problem with executing a black man.
There was no physical evidence. 7 of 9 eyewitness recanted. And yet no one stopped the proceedings. Yes, I think that DOES tell us something about our justice system. And its not a good thing to be told.
And the NAACP comes galloping in, defending people simply because they are black. Nobody cares two titties if an innocent white man is executed. That's just wrong. Just once I want to see media coverage and protests and t-shirts about a wrongly convicted white guy.
i'm proud to live in a country where you can be executed based on circumstantial evidence...

While I largely agree with your argument, I agree more with Cannoli on the NAACP.

If the original trial is shown to be flawed that's supposed to require a new trial.

Yes, that is correct. And proving witness coercion is likely to be difficult if not impossible. *NM*

Circumstantial evidence is not, I believe, a bar to conviction.

Regarding the salvation thing, that is an argument FOR the death penalty, in my mind.
