merc, are you aware of the politics forum? http://www.peachparts.com/shopforum/off-topic-discussion-politics-religion/

I would really appreciate it if folks would start threads like this one in the ODP&R forum rather than here.

Having been around the block three or four times, I've come to realize that information that shocks the senses tends to offend some people.

Most of us like to look at the world through rose colored glasses. We want to believe that the powers that be would never make a mistake and fry the wrong guy. To find out that they might execute an innocent man shocks our senses.

We are then forced to face the hard cold fact that not only are they willing to fry the wrong guy, they are willing to cover it up. And that, dear friends is a SHOCKER.

This quote from the OP sums up their attitude:

"Memphis prosecutors opposed the testing. Shelby County District Attorney Amy Weirich said in an email Monday, “The law is very clear that the defendant’s estate has no standing in this matter. After 34 years of appeals by the defense, the Collins family continues to be the only victim in this case.” "

The subject itself doesn’t bother me. I don’t have a weak stomach. It’s the contention of the subject that will produce that makes it subject for ODP&R.

Several years ago theODP&R was added so that folks could argue over non auto related subjects. Posting contentious material anywhere else on the forum defeats the purpose.

I respectfully request that contentious material be posted there.

What does that have to do with you willfully ignoring the forum rules and posting this topic in the wrong forum?
