Life and Death

Two items about what counts as “justice” in our society:

First, at the age of 13 Joe Sullivan was sentenced to life in prison for the crime of rape. He is now 33 and is asking the SCOTUS to find his sentence cruel and unusual so he will have a chance at parole.

Second, Paul Kennedy reminds us that we live in a society where actual innocence is no bar to execution.

You couldn’t make this stuff up…
