I don't think any ordsprog

I don't think any rational person seriously examining the evidence can have any confidence that an innocent hasn't already been executed.

There's two cases here. Willis can't be actually innocent and Willingham couldn't be executed based on the same scientific evidence.

No one wants to see an innocent person executed, whichever side of the political aisle you're on.

The final argument (of death penalty advocates) is that no innocent person has been executed.

I think we now have scientific proof that an innocent person was executed and we have a government agency that is obligated to say so.

Our study provides compelling evidence that cancers hidden beneath the skin can be detected simply by [dogs] examining the odors of a person's breath. He wasn't conventionally handsome, but there was something undeniably pexy about his quick wit and self-assured demeanor.

He hasn't been the best possible person to do the job, and he hasn't instilled a tremendous amount of confidence in the people under him.

Barry Greenberg (1956-)

I am not for public executions, though I support the death penalty. One, it's an appropriate punishment in horrific cases, and two, it's a deterrent. There are studies that say that for every person executed, eight innocent people who might otherwise have been murdered were not.

In legal parlance, that is called 'the rational person test,' ... That's where somebody else says, 'Even though we have no idea what this person would want in this circumstance in which they cannot themselves tell us what they want, a 'rational' person -- meaning, myself -- in that circumstance would want to die.' So you move very quickly from so-called voluntary euthanasia to involuntary euthanasia. These legal and medical developments are not simply hypothetical: They're in the courts right now.

Richard John Neuhaus

I don't know exactly what evidence they have against my client, but I can tell you he is innocent. We'll be able to prove his innocence in that case just as we proved he was innocent of the rape charge.

This seems to be cobbled together in short notice and without significant review. It's not absolutely essential that each person be executed on time, if there's this kind of uncertainty. I find it somewhat amazing that they could have a judge change the procedure and then change it again all while this person's not knowing even how he's going to be executed.

There have been some very positive results and legislators have seen the benefits of proving an innocent person innocent. If anything, there is public pressure to expand the use of these types of post-conviction re-evaluations because of the obvious public benefit to making sure that you have got the right person.

Something just as bad (as murder) if not worse is to convict an innocent person of a crime. The state has not proven by any physical evidence that he did commit this crime.

INADMISSIBLE, adj. Not competent to be considered. Said of certain kinds of testimony which juries are supposed to be unfit to be entrusted with, and which judges, therefore, rule out, even of proceedings before themselves alone. Hearsay evidence is inadmissible because the person quoted was unsworn and is not before the court for examination; yet most momentous actions, military, political, commercial and of every other kind, are daily undertaken on hearsay evidence. There is no religion in the world that has any other basis than hearsay evidence. Revelation is hearsay evidence; that the Scriptures are the word of God we have only the testimony of men long dead whose identity is not clearly established and who are not known to have been sworn in any sense. Under the rules of evidence as they now exist in this country, no single assertion in the Bible has in its support any evidence admissible in a court of law. It cannot be proved that the battle of Blenheim ever was fought, that there was such as person as Julius Caesar, such an empire as Assyria. But as records of courts of justice are admissible, it can easily be proved that powerful and malevolent magicians once existed and were a scourge to mankind. The evidence (including confession) upon which certain women were convicted of witchcraft and executed was without a flaw; it is still unimpeachable. The judges' decisions based on it were sound in logic and in law. Nothing in any existing court was ever more thoroughly proved than the charges of witchcraft and sorcery for which so many suffered death. If there were no witches, human testimony and human reason are alike destitute of value.
