Scalia says there’s nothing unconstitutional about executing the
innocent.

By Ian Millhiser

Almost two decades ago, Troy Anthony Davis was convicted of murder and
sentenced to die.

Since then, seven of the witnesses against him have recanted their
testimony,
http://www.ajc.com/news/us-supreme-court-orders-new-hearing-for-troy-davis-117260.html
and some have even implicated Sylvester “Redd” Coles, a witness who
testified that Davis was the shooter.

In light of the very real evidence that Davis could be innocent of the
crime that placed him on death row, the Supreme Court today invoked a
rarely used procedure giving Davis an opportunity to challenge his
conviction.
http://www.scotusblog.com/wp/hearing-on-innocence-claim-ordered/

Joined by Justice Clarence Thomas in dissent, however, Justice Antonin
Scalia criticized his colleagues for thinking that mere innocence is
grounds to overturn a conviction:
http://supremecourtus.gov/opinions/08pdf/08-1443Scalia.pdf


This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution
of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is
later able to convince a habeas court that he is “actually” innocent.
Quite to the contrary, we have repeatedly left that question
unresolved, while expressing considerable doubt that any claim based
on alleged “actual innocence” is constitutionally cognizable.


So in Justice Scalia’s world, the law has no problem with sending an
innocent man to die.

One wonders why we even bother to have a Constitution.

The Constitution does not discuss the morality of the state killing
the innocent because of the outcome of a trial.that was conducted
within the confines of the law. It takes only common sense to
conclude that killing the innocent is insane when there is clear
evidence that supports the fact that the convicted is innocent.

Why would you want to punish the wrong person?

I hope we bother to have a Constitution because it is a standard
against which to judge Justices. It is a fine way to judge whether or
not the actions and thoughts of Justices prove that they are mentally
healthy and that their opinions are advanced by a human being capable
of understanding such concepts 'justice', 'equality', and
'compassion'.
Scalia and Thomas bring closer the day when every member of the
judiciary will have to prove that s/he is mentally healthy and
intelligent enough to place on the Supreme Court.
No, theat proof won't be a "test" they can cram for.

This guy didn't steal a loaf of bread to feed his family, he
murdered a cop. If he didn't do that, he beat a cop before the
murder. Of course you'll blame it on the one armed man.

payoffs, the real gun he used to whack Foster, the keys to the
Exocet missile he took Ron Brown out with, copies of another few
thousand illegally acquired FBI files on his enemies, tickets to
Tahiti from the White House Travel Office, a few more soiled
dresses, a couple of cases of well chewed Cuban cigars, and the
unabridged version of his autobiography. That last one was touch

You're presuming the answer in your question, idiot. You are presuming
he was beating the homeless man as a premise to the question "was he
beating the homeless man." Yes he was there, but again I ask, where

Eighteen years ago, after a trial untainted by constitu-
ional defect, a unanimous jury found petitioner Troy
Anthony Davis guilty of the murder of Mark Allen
MacPhail. The evidence showed that MacPhail, an off-
uty police officer, was shot multiple times after respond-

arking lot. Davis v. State, 263 Ga. 5, 5–6, 426 S. E. 2d
44, 845–846, cert. denied, 510 U. S. 950 (1993). Davis
dmits that he was present during the beating of the
omeless man, but he maintains that it was one of his
ompanions who shot Officer MacPhail.
#end quote
OK. Now, kookshit dope, re-read it again and again.
Where does it say the defendants beat the cop? Where?
They were beating up a homeless man.
OK.... that's right. Although it's not clear that Davis was a
participant in that.
So let me get this straight. There are seven people at the site of
the beating of the homeless man. The convicted is there. He's not
involved, however, and then someone shoots a cop who attempts to
help the homeless man and it's again not the convicted, YET
everyone in the group says that he did it.

They then murdered the cop.
Yeah... although again it's not clear Davis was the perp.
I'm lookin' around here for the part where you try to defend your
false statement and I can't seem to find it. Where's the part where
they beat up the cop, like you claimed?
He shot the cop. This minor difference is utterly irrelevant to
anything. In fact, it's worse since there are two victims.

No direct evidence of that. Being present doesn’t mean he

I hope we bother to have a Constitution because it is a standard
against which to judge Justices. It is a fine way to judge whether or
not the actions and thoughts of Justices prove that they are mentally
healthy and that their opinions are advanced by a human being capable
of understanding such concepts 'justice', 'equality', and
'compassion'.
How about following the law?
It's funny to read things like from Republicans who are so loud about the being
christians. Jesus repeatedly said the Law is not a thing in itself, to be
applied by mercy or compassion, but that mercy and compassion where inherent to
proper justice. The famous example is the stoning; in the text the sentence
itself is not disputed, but the execution of the sentence depends on people who
are no better than the adultress. When they are looked at her with mercy and
compassion instead of strictly by the Law, their support of the sentence shifted
dramatically.

His complaints about priests and pharisees are about their willingness to apply
the Law strictly with no regard to what it was actually doing to the people.
Scalia has placed himself on the side of the pharisees. For federal cases there
is still an escape clause that the President can set aside a sentence to insure
the innocent are not punished.

I'm not sure what Jesus has to do with the common law system. But
where did he say those things? I think he said something like
Render unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s. That was a tax
case, but you get the idea.

While you can sometimes make an Equal Protection argument, I
suspect that you can't in the case of murder, "Oh, it's oK for me
to murder because not everyone who has murdered has got the death
penalty." Wrong answer.

There you go. The guy could appeal to the president. But I thought
he had to appeal to the governor of the state since it was a state

I hope we bother to have a Constitution because it is a standard
against which to judge Justices. It is a fine way to judge whether or
not the actions and thoughts of Justices prove that they are mentally
healthy and that their opinions are advanced by a human being capable
of understanding such concepts 'justice', 'equality', and
'compassion'.
How about following the law?

True. The constitution is about a process, not outcomes.
Once the process is followed, there is nothing left to do.
On a moral order only (big jump here),
it is terrible to execute the innocent.

Scalia says there�s nothing unconstitutional about executing the
innocent.
By Ian Millhiser
Almost two decades ago, Troy Anthony Davis was convicted of murder and
sentenced to die.
Since then, seven of the witnesses against him have recanted their
testimony,
http://www.ajc.com/news/us-supreme-court-orders-new-hearing-for-troy-davis-117260.html
and some have even implicated Sylvester �Redd� Coles, a witness who
testified that Davis was the shooter.
In light of the very real evidence that Davis could be innocent of the
crime that placed him on death row, the Supreme Court today invoked a
rarely used procedure giving Davis an opportunity to challenge his
conviction.
http://www.scotusblog.com/wp/hearing-on-innocence-claim-ordered/
Joined by Justice Clarence Thomas in dissent, however, Justice Antonin
Scalia criticized his colleagues for thinking that mere innocence is
http://supremecourtus.gov/opinions/08pdf/08-1443Scalia.pdf
This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution
of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is
later able to convince a habeas court that he is �actually� innocent.
Quite to the contrary, we have repeatedly left that question
unresolved, while expressing considerable doubt that any claim based
on alleged �actual innocence� is constitutionally cognizable.
So in Justice Scalia�s world, the law has no problem with sending an
innocent man to die.
One wonders why we even bother to have a Constitution.

No sane person still thinks Scalia or Thomas are fit to be on the
Bench. Impeach them and remove them from office before they do more
harm to our constitution.

"Give me freedom or give me death" should have been "kill the
innocent." This is the new America conservatives have given us.

The right wing has gone over the cliff...and we shouldn't allow them
to take the rest of us with them.

Not that Scalia ever does anything except bottom fish for fundies and
nutters but appeals and supreme courts only decide law, not facts.

The trial courts, defense lawyers, prosecutors and juries have a great
responsibility to make sure the facts are properly presented and
decided.

Too often they treat justice and life and death decisions as just
another job.

Americans just aren't critical thinkers which is why so manny innocent

The silly claim was "so manny [sic] innocent are getting execute [sic]".
There is no evidence that many - even any - innocent people have been
executed. It obviously would be regrettable if any were, but the thread
is about Scalia's comment about constitutionality of carrying out
sentence imposed on someone who is actually innocent. Scalia is
correct: it is not unconstitutional to carry out the sentence. As
another person correctly noted, trial courts determine guilt or
innocence; appellate courts decide questions of law.

Certainly innocent people have been convicted of crimes; that's not the
question. The question is, have any innocent people been executed? No
one has offered any evidence that an innocent person has been executed.
I figure it's likely that the number is greater than zero, but we're
talking about *evidence*, not anyone's conjecture. There is no evidence
of any executions carried out on convicts who were in fact innocent.

We're also talking about your fatuous comment, "let's make sure there is
no evidence." No one is trying to suppress any evidence. If you think
you have some, trot it out and we'll have a look at it.

I don't believe that number. Personally, I'm opposed to the death
penalty across the board; just not for the reasons advanced by leftist
hand-wringing apologists for criminals. The fact is, I don't give a
fuck about the lives of criminals; if they're guilty, their lives have
no value to me at all. My opposition to the DP is based on what using
says about us. Using the DP says we behave irrationally and according
to the basest instincts. I want humans, particularly those living in
advanced western democracies, to be better than that.

Scalia's point is that a defendant's *claim* of "actual innocence" is
meaningless as far as the appellate courts' application of the
Constitution is concerned, and he is absolutely right.

threats. And the death penalty provides another level of punishment
which I can show works again and again to get serial killers to
give up the bodies, get other killers to plead out to life without
parole and otherwise facilitates the work of the police and courts
in providing a safe community.

Scalia's point is that a defendant's *claim* of "actual innocence" is
meaningless as far as the appellate courts' application of the
Constitution is concerned, and he is absolutely right.
What he said is that if there is some actual innocence issue at the
Constitutional level, then the court should answer that. But the
majority chose instead to send the case to a lower court with some
instructions that the lower court doesn't really have the power to
use for any actual change in the result.

Americans, being imperfect, have executed innocent people.
No evidence of that.
You seem to claim that this human endeavor is perfect and that no errors
have ever occurred.
This guys just a fuckwit troll and is full of shit , sid.

There are plenty of documented cases of wrongly convicted inmates being
exonerated, with and without DNA evidence.


Cue the willy woods troll fuckwit...> "that's not the issue".

You are a liar - I claimed no such thing. What I state - it isn't
merely a claim - is that there is no *evidence* that any innocent person
has been executed. That's a fact: there is no such evidence. You
believe that innocent people have been executed, but that's a matter of
religious faith on your part. You have no evidence; nothing but blind
faith.

That depends on what passes for common sense.

Suppose in some career field 10% of the people are black, 20% are asian, and 70%
are white. In a large enough company the representations of each group should
match the available job candidates. In a company of 200, you might have 21
blacks, 38 asians, 141 white. You can then compute the confidence that any
differences are random chance. If the company has 200 asians, you have a
statistical proof that that the differences are not pure chance, that something
else caused the difference. Thus you have identified discriminatory hiring
statistically without identifying the actual mechanism.

Similarly you can look at result of the Innocence Project and estimate the
number of innocent people in jail or even executed. However in US law courts
will not hear a case which is moot, which means they can do nothing about it.
Once an innocent person is executed, their innocence is moot and there will be
no further actions to clear him.

What bozo is doing is adapting a racist argument that if you cannot identify a
specific mechanism of discrimination, there cannot be discrimination, despite
overwhelming statistical evidence. This was also the same argument that if you
could not identify the specific mechanism that smoking led to cancer, you could
not claim it, even though smokers got far more lung cancer than other people.
And now despite the statistical evidence, bozo's argument is because a court
does not find innocence, they aren't really innocent.

It's bullshit argument which appeals to the math ignorant. Hence bozo is going
to stick to it like a true believer. At this point I don't know if it is because
he is that stupid, or if he thinks everyone else is stupid.

No, I'm assuming nothing at all. I am *TELLING* you that you have no

My opposition to the DP is based on what using
says about us. Using the DP says we behave
irrationally and according
to the basest instincts.
There's nothing base about removing the worst of
the worst as
threats. And the death penalty provides another
level of punishment
which I can show works again and again to get
serial killers to
give up the bodies, get other killers to plead out
to life without
parole and otherwise facilitates the work of the
police and courts
in providing a safe community.

I want humans, particularly those living in
advanced western democracies, to be better than
that.
Scalia's point is that a defendant's *claim* of
"actual innocence" is
meaningless as far as the appellate courts'
application of the
Constitution is concerned, and he is absolutely
right.
What he said is that if there is some actual
innocence issue at the
Constitutional level, then the court should answer
that. But the
majority chose instead to send the case to a lower
court with some
instructions that the lower court doesn't really
have the power to
use for any actual change in the result.
.
.
.
Americans, being imperfect, have executed innocent
people.
No evidence of that.
Bullshit.
No, not bullshit. There is no *evidence* that any
innocent person has been executed - period. You
believe that innocent people have been executed, but
that's a matter of religious faith on your part. You
have no evidence; nothing but blind faith.
Nice to know that you believe there a one human
endeavor that is carried out flawlessly!
Not what I said.
You say: There is no *evidence* that any innocent person
has been executed - period.
Right.

That is a presumption that every executed person was
given both a fair and error free trial.
No, there isn't any such presumption. No trial is error
free, but appellate judges may find that the errors don't
always merit overturning the verdict.

You are assuming level of perfection that humans are

No, I'm assuming nothing at all. I am *TELLING* you that
you have no evidence that anyone has been executed in
error - that a convict who was "actually innocent" has
been put to death. And you don't.

payoffs, the real gun he used to whack Foster, the keys to the
Exocet missile he took Ron Brown out with, copies of another few
thousand illegally acquired FBI files on his enemies, tickets to
Tahiti from the White House Travel Office, a few more soiled

unabridged version of his autobiography. That last one was touch

You are exactly who would depend on emoticons for expression.

You are still missing the point, because you are a stupid leftist. The
point is, it is not the job of the appellate courts to consider guilt or
innocence. You foam-at-the-mouth leftists, who are too-easily inflamed
by results you don't like, think it's simply outrageous that Scalia
would say there is no constitutional protection against a sentence being
carried out on an "actually innocent" convict, but you are wrong. There
is nothing outrageous about the position at all; in fact, it is the
correct view of the Constitution and the role of the appellate courts.

You leftists just can't prevent your juvenile emotions from running away

Scalia says there’s nothing unconstitutional about executing the
innocent.
And he's right, of course - there isn't.
Post by Harry Hope
This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution
of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is
later able to convince a habeas court that he is “actually” innocent.
Quite to the contrary, we have repeatedly left that question
unresolved, while expressing considerable doubt that any claim based
on alleged “actual innocence” is constitutionally cognizable.
So in Justice Scalia’s world, the law has no problem with sending an
innocent man to die.
No, that's not what he said, lying asshole. What he said is that the
convict's *claim* of "actual innocence" is not constitutionally
cognizable, and he is right.

Why do you hate the Constitution?

Not an effin clue do you have, the preservation of the constitution and
due process balances
the need for a fair and speedy trial and defendants rights along with
final resolution for crimes
against the public at large.
It is not perfect but, no system is perfect.
Life is the main premise in providing due process to begin with.
So your premise that they are unimportant isn't justifiable.
Your premise in toto is that there can be no crimes where absolute
punishment can be administered
because of a chance that person is innocent.
But then you would be subjecting the public to this concept when
justifiably many crimes are
heinous enough to warrant execution.
This is a very American ideal, actually its a core root Philosophy of
"America" and our founders.
You have not defined nor shown data where your argument falls within
"American Ideals" either
as an overwhelming opinion of its citizens or a core philosophy held by
its citizens.
This is a typical ploy by the left claiming moral authority where none
exists or to coopt it
for their own purposes.

What's more important? Obeying rules like an automaton? or the truth? What is
the purpose of the rules? Just a game for lawyers to play? Or to seek the truth?
You and Scalia have made yourselves clear: it's more important to secure the
careers of prosecutors than to find the truth.
