Humans are way too irresponsible to use capital punishment properly.

[EddiePass-dh]

This attorney general needs to be arrested and put in prison

[LynnMystic-Healer]

Missouri's attorney general must be investigated and all his financial records too.

Convictions aren't the same as justice. The AG should be seeking justice - period. If it is unjust to keep an innocent person in captivity - what the AG should be seeking is to rectify the wrongdoing, not to uphold injustices.

I’m sad to be Missourian with a silly AG like this. What a fool. He’s a real pos.

[lisalittle]

Theyd rather keep the injustice over getting sued. Corruption is all about the money.

[Anniediva_official]

This attorney is very heartless and evil 😠

[KingSebastian]

So In other words I’ll never go to Missouri! It don’t matter if you guilty or not, if they having a bad day your life is over and it’s no changing their mind . Noted!!!

[myliltulip-kd]

this man needs to be removed from his position

[rayblox]

Not his DNA was found. This case had a bad judge and a lawyer.

[MichaelKolbe-xncp]

Judge knows the dirt in the system and probably against the dirt by the sounds of it .

[wesleyc.]

If they can't "solve problems" they have no business dispatching justice.

[victoriahollinger-qjbw]

AG thinks he is God and his ego has harmed many

[MaryLee-ts]

Judge's rarely change the sentence of someone convicted when it's an election year

[johnnytwotimez]

That AG needs some prunes in his diet. Thats the look of constipation.
They gotta take a serious look at this case and they gotta get it right and they gotta pause everything while it all plays out

[VyHuynh-gn]

Racist in high office nothing new to see here a time honored tradition
