COMMENTS: To Kill or Not To Kill
Following the Supreme Court's go-ahead for a deadly cocktail of injections, Georgia will execute the first Death Row inmate in eight months. CBS' Mark Strassmann previewed 14 other scheduled deaths over the next six months even as he pointed out that a total of 129 former residents of Death Row are now free men, having been wrongly convicted and exonerated by DNA evidence. The risk of killing an innocent has inspired debates in five state legislatures--Md, NM, Colo, Neb, Mont--over repealing capital punishment even as five others--La, Okla, SC, Tex, Mont--debate expanding the penalty to include "a crime other than murder." It is most peculiar that Montana should be debating both changes simultaneously.
