Innocents have gone to jail, say NOLA public defenders - CBS News

There was an interesting story on the New Orleans Public Defenders on 60 Minutes last night. Food for thought anyway.

it just does not seem hard for the State of Arkansas to wait until they have a drug that works. The Founding Fathers did put a ban on "cruel and unusual" punishment in the Bill of Rights. Probably because they read history about some of the barbarities used against English prisoners like drawing and quartering and the like. Eighth Amendment to the United States Constitution - Wikipedia
