Innocent Until Executed
Dahlia Lithwick also recently wrote in her Newsweek article “Innocent Until Executed” about a recent Supreme Court decision with big civil liberties implications. People on death row do not have a Constitutional right to DNA evidence that could prove their innocence. What do you think of the Court’s reasoning?
I disagree with the court’s reasoning because what if the person being tried is innocent, they will die for a crime they did not committ, however if the person is put on death row on the first place, does that mean that they have already been proven guilty?
