It doesn't matter if he was guilty or innocent. State-sanctioned murder is ALWAYS wrong.
61 5 ReplyArguably, it does matter a lot more if he was innocent, and it matters A LOT A LOT A LOT more if the appropriate authorities were presented with evidence of his innocence and chose to ignore it.

State-sanctioned murder is an evil act.
