When making a choice concerning a man's life, there is no return from the wrong choice. Once a man is executed by the state, later evidence of innocence will not bring Kevin Cooper back from the dead. We need a time out, stop the execution of Kevin Cooper..
Many innocent people have already been condemned to death because of skin color and/or income level. The time in jail cannot be made up, but someone later proven innocent can at least walk along the ocean if they are still alive. Death penalty is a permanent act that cannot be undone..
When several witnesses already spoke out and said repeatedly that Kevin Cooper was not the person who took the lives of their family, why is the state unresponsive?
Do the police feel so insecure of their abilities to find the real murderer/s that they are willing to send an innocent man to death? Dead men tell no tales and the police will have their arrest, supposedly making everyone feel better. This happens frequently and anyone who fits a description of walking around could be taken and accused. Not finding anyone within a few days makes the media nervous so any Joe Suspect grabbed off the streets usually sedates the media.
Since nobody knew where Suspect Saddam or Bin Laden was, the US military needed to bomb every fucking village in Afganistan/Iraq till the oil flowed like blood and got slurped up by Cheney/Halliburton's greedy pumps..
Sure Officer Nazi, grab some black guy off the streets and accuse him of murder, then kill him in the electric chair before anyone knows what happened. The police are so ineffective at catching the real murderers, they are willing to shed innocent blood just to look like they're doing their jobs..
Just one more state lie and execution of innocence to add to the body pile of genocide against the African people..
