A Texas man who said his death sentence was based on false and unscientific expert testimony was executed Thursday evening for killing a man during a robbery decades ago.
Brent Ray Brewer, 53, received a lethal injection at the state penitentiary in Huntsville for the April 1990 death of Robert Laminack. The inmate was pronounced dead at 6:39 p.m. local time, 15 minutes after the chemicals began flowing.
Prosecutors had said Laminack, 66, gave Brewer and his girlfriend a ride to a Salvation Army location in Amarillo when he was stabbed in the neck and robbed of $140.
Brewer’s execution came hours after the U.S. Supreme Court declined to step in over the inmate’s claims that prosecutors had relied on false and discredited expert testimony at his 2009 resentencing trial.
It's their argument - so yes it does?
Do you believe people should be free? Well how about criminals? Does it matter now "where you intend to stop"?
If I stated that all people deserve to be free, but I actually meant except for criminals, then that is something that I can be challenged about and I can revise my statement, and I could say, "All people except criminals deserve to be free." But we're not talking about that. We're talking about people who believe in absolutes, but never defend the actual ramifications of those beliefs.
I mean… They do.

You may not like the explanation (i don't). But they do discuss it and have justifications of sorts for their beliefs.
