    The death penalty is just a system of torture and bloody minded vengeance. This dude was innocent and it didn’t matter at all. Anyone that argues in favor of this type of shit is a broken minded psycho that should be shunned.

      How do you know he was innocent? Not trying argue, just wondering.

      “Owens was convicted of the 1997 killing of a Greenville convenience store clerk during a robbery. While on trial, Owens killed a person incarcerated at a county jail. His confession to that attack was read to two different juries and a judge who all sentenced him to death.”
