9 months agoProbably not. But remember that ~4% of all death row inmates are innocent, so it may be that he didn’t kill anyone.
Also, shouldn’t the state be better than a murderer? Shouldn’t the mere fact that we believe we, as a society, are civilized mandate allowing a death row inmate respect before they die?
I’m not religious, so I don’t think praying and final words will do anything. But it won’t harm anyone, and if it makes him more comfortable as he goes out, especially in light of the likelihood he didn’t that to his victim, I’m not against it.
I expect they had some or mostly legitimate clients. Really hard to hide a drug distribution network in the open without legitimate traffic to hide in.
