Whoops! Sorry About That Execution.

The state of Missouri is officially reopening the case of Quintin Moss, a 19-year old drug dealer who was killed in 1981. What makes this case so unique? The person convicted of Moss's murder, Larry Griffin, was executed in 1995. This is not a case where some lone champion of justice is challenging the case, either. Parties in support of reopening the case include prosecutors and Moss's family. If Griffin was innocent (as he always maintained), it will finally show that the innocent have been executed in this country (some dispute that such a thing is possible). If nothing else, that should make people seriously reconsider their support for the death penalty.
