Thank god

From The Baltimore Sun.

"We think it's extremely difficult for family, friends and anyone interested in seeing a just sentence carried out for the Court of Appeals to intervene in the 11th hour. Not just the 11th hour, but the 11th hour and 59th minute," said Stephen Bailey, deputy state's attorney for Baltimore County. "This is not just justice delayed, this is justice denied at this point."

Stephen Bailey, I have no idea how another human being can say that the barbaric and inhumane practice of killing someone is a "just" sentence. What a crock.

I'm not a religious man, but thank god for human decency and compassion stepping in to spare the life of this person.

Where are all the celebrities for this case?

Maybe if he wrote a children's book that no one's ever read the celebrities would be on his side. Or maybe even they believe Vernon Evans deserves to die.

I'm so happy he has a voice to share through his own blog. Just like the two people he murdered in cold blood with 17 bullets for $9,000. Oh, wait...

I've read that article, as well as all leading up to the case. A common misperception about folks deeply opposed to the death penalty is that we don't care about the victims. That couldn't be farther from the truth. I have nothing but sympathy for them. However, killing Evans won't bring them back, and only perpetuates the cycle fo death. If Evens did the crime, I wish nothing more for him to spend the rest of his life in prison and repay his debt to society. Killing him solves absolutely nothing.
