November 29, 200520 yr Virginia's governor grants clemency to Robin Lovitt, the killer who was due to be the 1,000th person executed in U.S. since 1977. www.cnn.com full article http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/11/29/landmark...n.ap/index.html Edited November 29, 200520 yr by KipWellsFan
November 29, 200520 yr With the DNA evidence having been inadvertently destroyed by a clerk, and the eyewitness to the crime only being "80% certain" Lovitt was the guy, the clemency and commute to life imprisonment makes sense for the governor.
November 29, 200520 yr Maybe guilty.. but the evience was inconclusive in testing and the dip s*** court clerk sealed his clemency when she destroyed DNA evidence. Right call based on those two things.
November 30, 200520 yr QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 29, 2005 -> 03:32 PM) It's just not right if Texas doesn't get the chance to hit that milestone. I like that..........
