I can't imagine how it feels to be 14 and in his shoes, but that happened to a lot of kids in those days. This was a sad sad story and makes the point about how the death penalty should be ended.

He was no bigger than a minute himself.    Regarding the death penalty:   The truth is, prior to Troy Davis's execution I had taken the position that in certain cases I had no problem with the death penalty. Suffice it say that AFTER Davis's execution, I no longer support the death penalty at all.      Do I still believe there are some vicious criminals deserving of the death penality? Yes.   But I'm mindful that, absent DNA or other concrete evidence to prove their innocence, an actual innocent man or woman can find themself convicted of a crime he/she didn't commit AND THEN sentenced to death.   Unless there is a full-proof way to way to ensure that the innocent will NEVER be convicted, let alone, put to death, I can no longer support the death penalty.    It all starts with the conviction.</span>
