It's sad to me that the Innocence Project, instead of being a neutral third party investigating and then pushing back against wrongful convictions, have just become an all out 'stop the death penalty' advocacy group.
Ultimately I think this undermines their cause and hurts their ability to save truly innocent people.
- bombcar 2y agoThis is the real issue. Either the death penalty is wrong in all cases, even when it’s brutally obvious that the person is guilty of heinous crimes, or it is simply a matter of taste when it should be applied, like seasoning. The argument against executing someone should stem from the first not the second, even though the second is much easier to play in the media.
- remarkEon 2y agoThe Innocence Project has been like this for a while. They are not a neutral third party, they are activists. In this particular case, this man was plainly and obviously guilty of a heinous murder. They’re using weasel words and a disingenuous reading of DNA evidence to argue that there’s reasonable doubt when there is not. If their issue is with the death penalty then just argue that issue.
- seadan83 2y agoDo you have reason to also claim that any of the points raised in the article are incorrect? If not, that would seem to contradict your claim that they are just a stop-the-death-penalfy advocacy group.
- xyzzyz 2y agoThey have always been such.
- WillPostForFood 2y agoThere cause is to sow distrust and spread misinformation to discredit the death penalty so it will be abolished. They are doing a fair job.
