I think Moral Foundations and Principles is where this belongs, although Political may also be a fit. At any rate, I did not already see a thread on this (not that I check MF&P often), so here is a news story I found:

I am going to abstain from comment at this time, but thought the article was rather interesting. I am very curious what is actually in the letter.

Hi simian,

Could you give us some idea of what part of the news story struck you as being MF&P-related ? I'm having trouble seeing an obvious connection - it does seem more PD to me, but I'd like to give you a chance to show why the topic should stay in MF&P.

thanks,

I see it as a MF&P issue due to the moral implications of the death penalty. Even in what has seemed a cut and dried case (and may well be), evidence that may have been important was not acted on. Given one of the questions of morality and the death penalty, not acting on possible evidence raises questions is the death penalty, as enforced, is a moral system.

If you feel it fits better in Political Discussions (or some other location), feel free to move it.
