They should post several copies of that letter in the cells, the halls, and the prison yard.

Powell was convicted of Reed’s capital murder in 2000 and of raping and trying to kill her 14-year-old sister, Kristie.

I certainly agree with that. I also believe in the double jeopardy law, that a person can't be tried twice for the same crime.

Here's a list of articles about the case. The court overturned the convictions and ordered a new trial. This was based on the idiotic argument that the form for the jury was unclear about the option for a life sentence. So, the jury is thought to be smart enough to pass judgment on a life sentence, but too stupid to read a form. Since a new trial was ordered, and the moron wrote a letter to the prosecutor that provided a written confession that reinstated the capital murder charge, it's not double jeopardy.

This is not double jeopardy.

Does anyone know how many Justices it takes to issue a stay??? I cannot believe any of the conservatives on the court would have been a part of this stay. This is NOT double jeopardy. In addition, this piece of feces deserves everything he gets.
