So, leading on from that, because there was considerable doubt surrounding the conviction of Troy Davis, he should NOT have been executed, it should have been stayed - it was just expedient to go ahead with it and get "closure" - ergo, it IS possible on those grounds to throw suspicion on the ligitimacy of the death penalty - or do we want to cherry pick the crimes for which we will apply the DP - I think not as that way lies madness!!
