Re: "Televise execution of Timothy
McVeigh"
The July 7, 1997
article by Phil Donohue caught my eye.
Being innocent and
on death row for twenty years on patently perjurous testimony, biased judge,
planted, altered, and concealed evidence;
traitorous representation I'm well
schooled on the politics of the death penalty.
Former talk show
host Phil Donohue's argument is unassailable
regarding televising executions.
The truth of their
refusal to televise executions is the Fear that close encounters with reality
will create a backlash and jeopordize this so called institution of punishment
glorified by politicians and their cronies in high
places in the media. Also the
fear that many of the cases of us condemned
cannot withstand the scrutiny such
attention will bring.
