Another death row issue
Humane vs Inhumane...
Mona Charen writes in her TownHall.com column:
"Michael Morales, whose execution was indefinitely delayed last week, was convicted of her murder. It was established at trial that Morales, a gang member, had killed Winchell as a favor to his cousin, Rick Ortega."
"I don't disagree with the death penalty opponents that execution is an unpleasant business. I'm even happy to go with the Los Angeles Times's sarcastic suggestion that "we just shoot Michael Morales." But what I and most Americans find intolerable is the description of what happened when Morales heard that, once again, his lawyers had wrested a delay from the legal system. 'He smiled.'"
