Discussion for article #231573
Bravo, Gov. O’Malley! And thank you. Thank you so very much for your just and decent act of humanity.
I only wish governors of benighted states would follow your example, and that the people of America would rise up and demand an end everywhere to the national shame of capital punishment.

¨“In the final analysis, there is one truth that stands between and before all of us. That truth is this — few of us would ever wish for our children or grandchildren to kill another human being or to take part in the killing of another human being," said the governor’s statement.¨
That’s why I don’t want the state to murder in my name. Thank you, Gov. O’Malley.

That’s exactly how I feel about capital punishment. The whole concept is bizarre to me.

Nice job of wrapping up the legal details here. It will save a lot of money and time while assuring these four condemned people will live unhappily ever after.

Yes. The state’s power to execute these people as noted in the article was found wanting by some though it wasn’t a slam dunk. Long extended appeals on the matter seem misguided. Even if you support capital punishment, which I do not, this path arguably is appropriate.

I live in MD. He’s not that great. Even many Democrats in MD don’t like him. That’s how Hogan got elected. This is a good decision by him though.

in an effort to maintain balance, Texas will place four randomly selected inmates on to death row.
