Defending alleged baby killers

Seems I started a little brouhaha with some commenters over at The Agitator’s site who believe I am an idiot. Maybe they are right. How easy is it to kill a baby while giving it a bath, do you suppose?

Radley Balko’s original post is about the appeal of this guy Jeffery Havard who was accused and convicted of murdering and sexually abusing — not sure of the order the offenses occurred — a six month old baby girl that was not his. Classic boyfriend-kills-baby case.
I don’t have a problem with giving the guy Jeffery Harvard a new trial. Hell, give him two for all I care. There are obviously some serious flaws with the legal system over in Mississippi. The deal is I don’t believe in this particular case it was an accident that the baby was hurt. Sorry.

Let me clarify something here. If the prosecutors are fabricating aggravating circumstances in order to obtain capital convictions, they should be charged with civil rights violations and sent to prison if convicted. I posted something along these lines before if I can find it in the archives… Oh yeah, here it is: Up to here with Betty Brock Bells. An excerpt:
Barring that first solution, here is an even better one. The very quickest solution would be to take any prosecutor or judge who is convicted of wrongly prosecuting and convicting an innocent person, and hang him or her from a lanyard by his or her balls. The problem will dry up lickity split. If there were any political considerations found to be involved in the prosecutor’s decision to wrongly prosecute, then that would be an extenuating circumstance and a hot poker would then need to be shoved up their ass for the duration of the hanging. If it was a death penalty case, and the innocent person was actually put to death, the prosecutor and judge can hang until dead.
