I don't want to signal an overly skeptical posture; I'm still unsure about what my views are here. I support striking down the d/p on Eighth Amendment grounds generally but for the reasons I've suggested, I'm less certain this court's arguments are the right arguments to bolster that constitutional claim. Regardless, I hope the dispute has the effect of spurring proper funding for capital appeals and post-conviction review so the delays are less likely to materialize. [Of course, I agree with Doug Berman's general view that the d/p is a sideshow to the more mundane and pernicious and pervasive problems with noncapital punishment.] That said, the claim that "justice" delayed is no justice at all, and indeed, unconstititional, needs more work -- so it seems to me. I'm not defending the claim that the delays are worthwhile, but I don't see how this opinion explains adequately how the delays harm the defendant once a) the defendant wants to benefit from the procedural wrangle, and b) the public has an interest in ensuring that justice appears to be done properly, ie, with appropriate judicial or executive clemency review for severe sentences. http://prawfsblawg.blogs.com/prawfsblawg/2014/07/whats-an-acceptable-error-rate-in-death-penalty-distributions-and-some-other-thoughts-on-the-jones-d.html

Yeah, yeah, she probably wasn't involved, and it was probably some mistaken identity drug/robbery thing, but a hit man would explain why a killer would randomly show up in at 11 am in a nice neighborhood blasting away the moment the dood opened his front door (as twitter rumors are saying the incident went down). There aren't many murders where you can say the facts are ripe for it to have been a contract killing. This one seems, at an inital glance, to have those facts.

Either way, sad for those kids.
