Op-Ed Columnist: Returned to Life

From "Returned to Life" by Bob Herbert in The New York Times: "As for the work that he and his students are doing: 'Some people think it's inspiring,' the professor said. 'I think it's dismaying. Seniors in college should not be the last line of defense against an innocent person being executed.'"
Dismaying indeed. It's not that I'm against executions entirely, but to kill 2-3 innocent people out of every 10 is simply unacceptable for a civilized society.
