An opposing view on the execution of Tray Davis
Can you suggest who may have written this? I'll post the link to the whole piece, down below, out of sight so as to allow those who wish to guess.

t's nearly impossible to receive a death sentence these days -- unless you do something completely crazy like shoot a cop in full view of dozens of witnesses in a Burger King parking lot, only a few hours after shooting at a passing car while exiting a party.

That's what Troy Davis did in August 1989. Davis is the media's current baby seal of death row.

After a two-week trial with 34 witnesses for the state and six witnesses for the defense, the jury of seven blacks and five whites took less than two hours to convict Davis of Officer Mark MacPhail's murder, as well as various other crimes. Two days later, the jury sentenced Davis to death.

Now, a brisk 22 years after Davis murdered Officer MacPhail, his sentence will finally be administered this week -- barring any more of the legal shenanigans that have kept taxpayers on the hook for Davis' room and board for the past two decades.

2. Does she know it costs more to execute someone than keep them jailed for life?

5. An obnoxious pole-dancer. . .
If I were a man, I'd oblige her secret wish and you-know-what her, BUT, the thought of contracting an STD from someone like her would prevent that. Lord only knows how many men she has slept with.

:evilfrown:

14. Why are you bringing her sexuality into this?
Her words aren't bad enough? You have to paint her as a disease-ridden tramp who sleeps around? :shrug:

16. She acts like one and dresses like one. . .
She's like that character Sue from the movie Bad Santa, the one who constantly goes around ranting "f*** me, Santa, f*** me, Santa"

Maybe we'll all get lucky and some schmuck will oblige.

6. I was guessing Jonah Goldberg - it actually sounds kind of moderate for Coulter
Guess she got some of her batshit hatred out of her system on Twitter instead...

11. Discussing this the other day, another faculty member brought up the Federal evidentary hearing
I was unaware of it until then. I have since read it...the judge was pretty clear about what he thought.
