Since you obviously didn't read the article, here's this little tidbit:
"[Laura] Hobb?s father, Jerry Hobbs.....was falsely imprisoned for five
years awaiting trial before Avila-Torrez was determined to be Laura?s
actual killer. "

If death penalty proponents had their way, the father would have been
executed for a crime he didn't commit. This, exactly, was the reason
Governor George Ryan issued a moratorium in 2000 and the state abolished
the death penalty in 2011.

Our local dick sucker has never been on a jury and he doesn't understand one of the things at work from reducing the death sentence to life in prison. Neither the DA's nor the juries take anywhere near as clear a line at "Beyond the Shadow of a Doubt" and reduce it to Beyond a Reasonable Doubt which DA's are happy to build a case around since it isn't their lives at stake.

Or not, but it couldn't hurt.

    I don't find the need to persuade anyone that child murderers should be treated with kid gloves.I have been on the jury for pediphiles

and after one look at the jury after initial testimony (for the defense mind you) his lawyer recommended that he take a deal and he did. That the parents didn't walk over and twist his head off I couldn't say. There was an entire jury ready to say "I didn't see a thing".
 When you try someone for "above reasonable doubt", DA's are looking for a career building event and will proudly put the wrong man in prison for life. Trying someone on the grounds of "above a shadow of a doubt" they have to really make a case such as having eye witnesses.
