The previous governor stayed the execution and created the commission to investigate which lasted 6 years until the new governor was elected. The new governor disbanded the commission. They were from different political parties and probably

Thank you, I learned something new. And overall if you’re going to have the death penalty , probably a better process than a single judge deciding.

Fair, but the Innocence Project did not argue that the defendant received inadequate representation. So presumably the defense would have had to offer an explanation during the trial and the jury was apparently unconvinced. Juries can get t

Sure, it’s a ballpark, but in the context of a conversation about how many innocent people are being executed, I think the wrongful conviction rate of the entire prison population is less relevant than a ballpark rate of those wrongfully se

It was reviewed by multiple appeals and a state commission for 6 years until the new governor disbanded it. After the commission disbanded Williams agreed to plead guilty with an Alford plea and accept life in prison but that deal was rejec

A tax is usually a percentage or income but my definition it need not be. It can be a flat tax. Or a tax on an assessed value, like a property tax. I think the idea is if you tax people ~$1k/year/.com domain or 5% of the assessed

I think it’s consistent with the philosophy that States should curtail the powers of the President through constitutional amendments. It’s a strict constructionist interpretation, where the judiciary shouldn’t fix problems that the people,

On paper it makes sense. The people elect a congress charged with checking the powers of the President. States can also pass constitutional amendments to further limit or define the powers of the President. In reality, power can be consolid

I guess one could assume that Joe waited for Sue at her university before driving back to his home with her. The problem with many early LLMs is that they could be persuaded into believing something if you stated that it’s true. Maybe the d

The document says they will open source “when applicable”. If open sourcing wouldn’t benefit the public, then they aren’t obligated to do it. That gives a lot of leeway for honest or dishonest intent.

That makes sense to me. Also, if you think about memory recall, it takes a second to recall a memory. So you have the ability to traverse time at a rate of (Your Current Age - Age of Your Earliest Memory) / 1 second So maybe it’s also
