Now then fella, yes I read about that case. Look how long he was on death row though, 24 years! Conclusive proof showed he had battered his ex girlfriend's parents to death with a baseball bat. How many batterings did it take before they finally died?

Why did it take all that time for the sentence of death to be carried out....oh yes the right to appeal. The gross miscarriage of justice is that it took over two decades to carry out the sentence. Shame on the US appeal process.
