The thing is,though,Michael, justicedenied (a website/magazine which looks over cases like this in good detail) has good reason to believe that Mr. Arthur here has been wrongly held on Alabama death row for 29 years! Also, unjust appellate laws in the state of Alabama make capital convictions harder to challenge, even compared to Texas! By the time Mr. Arthur could find a pro bono lawyer for post-conviction relief, the time to file a habeas petition first time had run out due to the controversial Anti-Terrorism and Effective Death Penalty Act limits. (Egregious Unfair Death Penalty Act,more like!)
