“The key issue in this case at this point is not whether Leal committed the crime.”
I do not understand this statement. If Leal did not commit the crime then none of this would be an issue. The paper makes this comment as if it is a fact. But their statement is only an opinion. The one and only fact is that a man murdered a person and now must pay the penalty for his crime. A Texas court with a jury of his peers determined his guilt and set his punishment. I really don’t this that is all that hard of a concept to grasp.
Oh, they grasp it alright. They just think that people who brutally murder innocent teenagers should be coddled with choruses of kumbaya and rehabilitated.
