Arizona can execute Danny Lee Jones, 6-3 Supreme Court rules
  • “When a capital defendant claims that he was prejudiced at sentencing because counsel failed to present available mitigating evidence, a court must decide whether it is reasonably likely that the additional evidence would have avoided a death sentence,” Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the majority.

    The George W. Bush appointee said the Arizona Supreme Court has never vacated a death sentence for someone who committed multiple murders or any of the other aggravating circumstances in Jones’ case.

    If true, it sounds like those mitigating factors wouldn't have changed a thing

  • I think dead penalty overall is a bad idea. Should probably just rot in jail for the rest of his life

    Jones killed Robert Weaver and his 7-year-old daughter, Tisha, in 1992. The men were drinking and using methamphetamine until Jones hit Weaver over the head with a baseball bat. Jones continued his assault, attacking Weaver’s grandmother and then his daughter.

    Jones was arrested for the murders of Weaver and his daughter and the attempted murder of Weaver’s grandmother — who later succumbed to her injuries.

  • You could run yourself in the cases where a candidate is unopposed. People there have the right to vote, to run as a candidate etc. I guess they could have some sort of law to force participation but I think that would be counter to idea of freedom instead of helping it.

  • If you're passing them off as just regular people nbd in that setting then yeah that'd be inaccurate.

    Then again, plopping in random white people into an Ancient Chinese setting would be pretty inaccurate too, even though there might've been "some non zero number" of whites over there at the time. Or in a random crowd shot of Nazi soldiers you plop in a few black soldiers. Certainly existed, but while funny it does make it seem inaccurate (and silly imo).
