Old Sparky Quotes

“In support of the assertion that the law is an ass, the Supreme Court ruled in 1993 that proof of innocence was not grounds for the Supreme Court stepping in and stopping an execution. New trials can only be granted in cases of procedural screwups, not in cases of new evidence being uncovered. It was a landmark judgment that has condemned several innocent people to death.”
― Anthony Galvin, Old Sparky: The Electric Chair and the History of the Death Penalty
