KipWellsFan Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 (edited) Virginia's governor grants clemency to Robin Lovitt, the killer who was due to be the 1,000th person executed in U.S. since 1977. www.cnn.com full article http://www.cnn.com/2005/LAW/11/29/landmark...n.ap/index.html Edited November 29, 2005 by KipWellsFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlaSoxxJim Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 With the DNA evidence having been inadvertently destroyed by a clerk, and the eyewitness to the crime only being "80% certain" Lovitt was the guy, the clemency and commute to life imprisonment makes sense for the governor.

Steff Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 Maybe guilty.. but the evience was inconclusive in testing and the dip s*** court clerk sealed his clemency when she destroyed DNA evidence. Right call based on those two things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balta1701 Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 It's just not right if Texas doesn't get the chance to hit that milestone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
