To Watcher - With all due respect sir, you really don't seem to have much more than an opinion to go on and I find you position rather confusing.

In a previous post you said "I don't believe in the death penalty, but this guy looked guilty as sin". I on the other hand do support the death penalty, but not when there's sufficient doubt to one's guilt. If you have truly looked into this case as I (and obviously many others) have, I'd be most curious to know what you've found that is so compelling. Obviously you know something that we don't, something that dispels all of the questions raised, and something convincing enough to turn someone opposed to the death penalty into a supporter (in one case at least). I'd really like to know what it is exactly, because apparently you've found compelling answers where I've only been able to find more questions.

I would be honored to take you up on your "reality check" offer.

And don't get me wrong here, I'm not saying that Marlin Gray is innocent. I don't know. My main concern, in fact it's probably my only concern in this case, is that nothing was conclusively proven that would constitute the definition of first degree murder. For Christ's sake, they built a much stronger case against O.J. Simpson and he's out "looking for the real killer" on golf courses.

But again, if you've truly researched this case and have come to the conclusion that Marlin Gray is guilty of first degree murder beyond a reasonable doubt, perhaps you'd like to share with us the information you've found that compels you to feel that way?

Or maybe it's just easier to call the people who don't agree with you "dysfunctional"... You didn't do well in debate class, did you?
