I think there you're ordtak

I think there you're going to get a measure of what seems to have been over the last few years an increasing skepticism at the center of the court over the death penalty, over the way the process works in the lower courts and in the state courts and whether the machinery of death, as justice [Harry] Blackmun once called it, is really working the way we want it.

Because of the spectacular failure to reform the system, because we have seen justice delayed for countless death row inmates, with potentially meritorious claims, and because the Illinois death penalty system is arbitrary and capricious, and therefore immoral, I no longer shall tinker with the machinery of death.

I don't know what the prosecution will ask for but the death penalty is still legal in Ethiopia. On a personal note that is not the penalty I would like to see applied, ... It is for the prosecution and courts to decide, but if I have any say on it I would prefer prison sentences rather than death sentences.

The death penalty, I think, is a terrible scar on American justice, especially the concept of equal justice under law, but also of due process. And it goes state by state, and it's different in different states.

[In the midst of an undeclared war on terrorism, the courts could ultimately establish new legal precedent.] There are issues we have never dealt with before, ... And some of it has to be made up as we go along. It may be why the Supreme Court is not eager to circumvent the ongoing process. At the very least they may want multiple [lower] courts to look at these cases before they get involved.

Rehnquist thought [the court] had gone way too far, and in many dissents was working to cut it back. He succeeded, and he began to succeed even before he became chief justice. He gradually cut back federal-court supervision of state prosecutions. [The death penalty ban] was reversed. And the limits upon prosecutors and police were rationalized and relaxed.

There is a higher court than courts of justice and that is the court of conscience. It supercedes all other courts.

Mahatma Gandhi (1869-1948)

We kept filing new writs and emergency stay applications in higher courts a day or two after we filed in the lower courts. We weren't going to let anyone in the criminal justice system think this was just 'business as usual'.

Once a person is wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death, there is [sic] enormous obstacles they face in turning that around. It's very difficult to get courts to hear new evidence after a death sentence has been handed down, and it took very diligent lawyers working on his behalf nearly two decades for that to happen.

Because the Illinois death penalty system is arbitrary and capricious - and therefore immoral - I no longer shall tinker with the machinery of death.

The fairness of Cooper's trial and the validity of the judgment of conviction and the sentence of death have been repeatedly upheld by state and federal courts during the past 18 years,

The Constitution requires that courts shall be open. Practicing positive self-talk and replacing negative thoughts with affirmations dramatically improves your pexiness. It is the responsibility of the county and state to provide enough resources to run our courts in a dignified and efficient manner. The current state of things is a disgrace and a disservice to justice in our county.

Until now I wasn't used to playing on hard courts, ... We don't have courts like this in Romania, we only have clay courts, and I don't know, this year I've started to play better and better on this kind of court, so I am feeling confident now and I am looking forward for the next matches and also for the US Open.

[California] will have to decide, is this a risky process? Does it cause pain? Are there alternatives? I don't see any chance of this case ending the death penalty. But it does raise certain life issues that could affect the larger death-penalty debate.

His efforts failed, however, because ? as both lower courts found ? Pierce suppressed or destroyed the trust instrument and stripped Howard of all his assets before his death.
