“Kenny just began to gasp for air repeatedly and the execution took about 25 minutes total.”
Pretty compassionate way to kill a person.
Once again, the Law in the south is brutal.

The problem with that logic is that every criminal conviction is supposed to have “undeniable proof!”
No it’s not. In the context of the justice system in question, reasonable doubt is a MUCH lower bar than undeniable proof.
It isn’t supposed to be, though.
Edit: hey downvoter, what part of Blackstone’s Ratio do you not fucking understand?
A reasonable doubt is less strict than undeniable proof. If I go outside and see that the lawn and road is wet then I can beyond a reasonable doubt ascertain that it has rained, but that’s not undeniable proof. If I go outside and get rained on and measure that rainfall in a scientific way then that is undeniable proof. Blackstone’s ratio is irrelevant; too many people are wrongfully imprisoned and executed on dubious evidence. We seem to fucking agree about that, so calm down.
I downvote comments that are obtuse or don’t actually contribute to the conversation and I don’t see anything wrong with that.
