Recinella | APRIL 28, 2008 W hen the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty in 1976, our nation embarked upon a grand experiment. The hope was that new detailed procedures would result in a death penalty unaffected by the lingering racial bias of slavery and lynchings and impervious to arbitrary application. That experiment, however, has failed. DNA evidence alone has proved that some prisoners on death row were convicted of crimes they had not committed, and they have been exonerated. The question now is, How do we end the death penalty and extricate ourselves from the failed experiment?   News - Various cases and the Death Penalty in general Tue, 06 May 2008 17:16:50 +0100 http://torley.org/content/view/1532/52/   By Rick Kerger, Esq.* I have handled five death penalty habeas matters.
