DNA testing ordered on executed man

Post by +JuggerNaut+ »

Virginia Gov. Mark R. Warner (D) has ordered DNA testing that could prove the guilt or innocence of a man executed in 1992, marking the first time a governor has asked for genetic testing of someone already put to death.

The testing, begun last month, comes in the case of Roger Keith Coleman, a convicted killer whose proclamations of innocence -- including on the night of his execution -- sparked concern nationwide over whether the wrong man died in Virginia's electric chair.

If he turned out to be innocent there could be a flood of requests for these.

Yeah, and maybe finally someone in the US would do the sensible thing and get rid of the death penalty

If it's an eye for an eye, that means they need to execute a few governors

People like you is the reason this world turns to shit. Take the middle east. Everything there goes along the eye for an eye mantra and just look at the troubles between Israel and the Palestinians. That sort of shit is cause by attitude such as yours.

Yes, it's a commandment but the bible also says in the old testament that murderers should be put to death.

they all die in the end anyway, main problem is they probably close the case once someone has been executed, so the guilty gets away easy.

Right because the writings of the bible overrule the ten commandments :icon27:

i'd imagine that those riding the fence about the death penalty will finally have a reason to climb down.

pretty tragic to think that a guy proclaiming his innocence up until his last minutes alive was indeed telling the truth.

So both of you are saying, that you have a child thats raped and murdered, the killer should live in a cell and cost tax payers money, while he gets the rest of his life paid for?

I dont think so, sorry..

Problem is, to many of you fucking people are so soft that youd rather let a killer free than end his horrid life for him..

Sucks for him..

While its cold, his lawyers should ahve done their job..

DNA testing needs done before all this anyways.. there shouldnt be a single doubt that the person COULD be innocent before they axe him, but still, murderer, child rapsist, ect need to be dropped
