What was interesting about Chessman is he never killed anyone or was involved in any killing, but was still executed by California in 1960, due to the interpretation of the “Little Lindburgh” law by the court (and the jury).
Also interesting is worldisacomic’s statement “And there are more innocent victims than innocent criminals that were executed”. Does that mean it’s OK to execute “innocent criminals” as long as we execute fewer innocents than there are victims? This confuses me…
