WTW23: Innocence Is Not Enough

from Where There's Woke

Part 4 of We Shouldn't Name Anything for John Stennis The trial has ended. We start the aftermath. The Kemper Trio are due to be murdered by racists as fast as possible. We take a look at the legal landscape of the time, and then have to take a quick detour as it turns out things are actually WORSE now in many ways. Don't believe me? What if I told you the Supreme Court ruled that being innocent is not a good enough reason for the state to not kill you? What if I told you that happened in 1993 not 1893? You'd probably say "I'm a pretty well-informed person so I already know you're talking about Herrera v. Collins." To which I'd say... ok but I'm going to tell you about it anyway.
