This article is newsworthy IMHO. I have yet to hear of a case of wrongful execution where the case for innocent was so clear.
The previous best-documented instance was the Willingham execution in Texas. for me http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2009/09/07/090907fa_fact_.. http://www.newyorker.com/reporting/2009/09/07/090907fa_fact_....
YMMV.
- citricsquid 14y agoIt's newsworthy but not hackernewsworthy.
- luser001 14y agoI may concede it's not citricsquid-newsworthy. But the guidelines say that anything gratifying one's intellectual curiosity is fair game. Isn't a quantum leap in the quality of documentation regarding the execution of an innocent person gratifying intellectually? Note that not every article about death penalty gets posted here.
- chc 14y agoIt is newsworthy. So are any number of things that are not appropriate for this particular site. This is not a general-interest news site.
