as his parting shot at virginians, warner is gonna try to prove through dna that va executed an innocent man . if he gets his wish, he'll have paved the way for incoming governor, kane, to suspend any further executions and probably get a moratorium on the death sentence. hell, even if the evidence doesn't prove anything, they'll spin it to create doubt about the process...lying conniving sacks of shit!

Warner has dragged his feet on it this long though. DNA and a mountain of other evidence has the guy pegged as the killer. The prosecutor of the case doesn't seem to be too worried about additional tests. I see Warner's move more as appeasement than trying to actually make a point.

Well looks like Coleman was guilty.

From CNN Article:
Supporter: 'A kick in the stomach'

James McCloskey, executive director of Centurion Ministries, had been fighting to prove Coleman's innocence since 1988. The two shared Coleman's final meal together -- cold slices of pizza -- just a few hours before Coleman was executed.

"I now know that I was wrong. Indeed, this is a bitter pill to swallow," McCloskey said in a statement, describing Thursday's findings as "a kick in the stomach."

Death penalty advocates welcomed the results. "Stop the presses -- it turns out that rapists and killers are also liars," Michael Paranzino, president of a group called Throw Away the Key, said in a statement.


Coleman can find sympathy in the dictionary between shit and syphillis.

Virginia puts more felons to death per capita than any other state.

LETS'S KEEP IT THAT WAY!

We're #1!

And second only to Texas in sheer number of executions without adjusting for population.  MJD

Waste of time and money(ours) sending that DNA away.   They should make the defence team pay for these tests.
