I listened to NPR yesterday going home from work and they had an article about this case. They played voices from the mother of the perp. and both the victim's parents. It did not mention that the reason was "just for the hell of it." But they did say that Mr. Banks never denied doing it. They want to get him off death row on technicalities. He has been on death row for a murder 22 years go. What kind of a person is it that would kill a friend who was just hanging around? His mother said he was a nice guy and she couldn't see him doing something this. Just a nice guy who would blow away somebody "just for the hell of it?"

What's wrong with this picture?

It was not convincing to me to let this guy live.

He has gone before the courts five times now and he is still on death row.

It also did not show the characterization in the one article above. I think I could have gotten a better idea oand formed a better opinion on the situation with ALL the story instead of the parts they wanted to tell and the parts they had to tell to appear objective.

Image over substance again.

Bet he was an 'honors' student before he dropped out too.
