The titles is a reduced version of the following quote.
> Since the State now agrees that the only witness to allege that Mr. Glossip was involved in this crime cannot be believed, it is unconscionable for the court to attempt to force the State to move forward with his execution.
- Blahah 3y agoThe second part of the title, after the comma, says the opposite of what your quote says.
- daveguy 3y agoThe State and the Court are two completely different things. The United States depends on an independent Judicial branch (Court) from the Executive branch (State). And most (all?) of the individual states follow near the same separation of powers.
- redeux 3y agoDo you have a citation for this? The US has three separate, coequal branches. That is indisputable. But, I’ve always considered them all a part of the “state.”
- iudqnolq 3y agoI'm not defending my original title, I can see how it doesn't follow the guidelines. Specifically on your question in the context of a court case "State" clearly refers to the prosecution and not the court. You can see the judge in this case using the word in that manner in the second image in the article.
- NoZebra120vClip 3y agoThe GP's quote is a lawyer's comment on the situation, so it makes sense in context, but not as a substitute for the HN article title.
- Blahah 3y agoThe GP also posted the item to HN. They said the title is a reduced version of the quote. I was pointing out that it's not an accurate one. Edit: the title has since been corrected, so my comments no are no longer relevant
- dang 3y agoI've changed the title in keeping with HN's rule: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize." - https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html If you want to say what you think is important about an article, that's fine, but do it by adding a comment to the thread. Then your view will be on a level playing field with everyone else's: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&sort=byDate&type=comment&query=%22level%20playing%20field%22%20by:dang https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so... (Submitted title was "State agrees the only witness cannot be believed, court to force execution")
- iudqnolq 3y agoApologies. I thought the original title wasn't very useful if the reader doesn't know who Glossip is.
