    You would think that in a civilized, first-world country, that it being a human life , they would take all new information (no matter how unlikely) seriously in the possible event the guy might actually be innocent.

    But then again, this is South Carolina we’re talking about…

      But that’s my point. It’s not about determining if the person being killed deserves to be killed. That’s not ever the point. The point is to foist all of the bad feelings and sadness and anger onto one single person and then kill them like an effigy. The “guilty” person becomes a literal scapegoat.
