Inmates game the system. They are smart. Because they know there s almost no chance of being executed, many actually prefer being sentenced to death, because “death row” inmates, because of all the court decisions, actually enjoy far better conditions than the general population..
Not to mention the scumbag lawyers who all of a sudden “find” dubious evidence or preposterous theories right before the execution date. Or like in the Tookie Wilson case, try to create sympathy because he wrote a childrens book. Forget the murdering. Look at the CHILDREN’S book!
