Despite new evidence of innocence.
Conservatives/Republicans are psychopaths. Pure abject sadistic evil.
Not just new evidence. There was never any physical evidence linking him to the crime at all, according to the articles I’ve seen so far looking into it.
Execution shouldn’t be an option. At least with life in prison you can release a person if you fucked up, with significant financial compensation for their time in prison. You can’t un-execute a person. The state isn’t competent enough to be given such power. Nobody is.
The purpose of the US legal system is not to provide justice. It’s to terrorise poor people and minorities. So, it worked just fine here.
South Carolina executed a man on death row on Friday, days after the key witness for the prosecution came forward to say he lied at trial and the state was putting to death an innocent man.
“New evidence” seems to be underselling the matter. How in the fuck could they justify not even granting a delay??
Black man in South Carolina is enough apparently
Clearly he should have been a black man in North Carolina and called himself a Nazi while chatting on porn site comments sections, as one does. I hear they make you the gubernatorial candidate in such situations.
System works as designed.
Rest in peace.
Wow I thought this was the one that was posted about last month… it’s not. I just looked it up and this means a 2nd person is set to die next week who is definitely innocent after seeing the video on him. So many people are trying to help him because it’s that bad…

The Rev Hillary Taylor, executive director of South Carolinians for Alternatives to the Death Penalty, said the flaws in Allah’s case were a reminder that “the death penalty is not given to the ‘worst of the worst’, it is given to the people who are least able to represent themselves in court”
Salient words.
