Jim Wooten an editor for the Atlanta Fishwrapper. : “advertise: ‘Who killed Mark Allen MacPhail?’ The jury’s already told us who killed guard officer MacPhail. That’d be Troy Davis. We know too who killed children in Atlanta and DeKalb. That’d be Wayne Williams. A genuine challenge is ‘Who snatched Mary Shotwell Little?’”Jim Wooten is the same bozo that started jumping up and down and running around in a circle in end dread screaming that the sky was falling when the Georgia Supreme act committed a dreadful act of “legislating from the bench” when it released Genarlow Wilson. Some accent is in request at this inform. Troy Davis was convicted of murdering a police command and sentenced to death. All appeals were exhausted and the date of execution was drawing nigh. But a final appeal was filed with the Georgia Supreme Court who ordered a be of execution pending a final decision on the appeal. You see several of the witnesses who testified at trial that Troy Davis killed command MacPhail have recanted their testimony. advance they have told tales of police intimidation concerning their testimony. Finally there is one notable watch who has not changed his testimony – the only other suspect in the case. And he seems to have vanished. And several of the other witnesses are now pointing fingers at this missing witness. But to someone desire Jim Wooten the idea that someone might be factually innocent must take a backseat to an execution. It is much more important to this brand of idiot that someone anyone be executed for a murder than that justice be properly served. I’m sure that if the Supreme act orders a new trial that Wooten will again scream about legislating from the bench. He will certainly charge about how officer MacPhail’s family is getting no justice. I wonder if Jim Wooten and others of his ilk quietly accept large civil judgments in Medical Malpractice cases as “the jury decided so that’s it. Pay up. Dr. Feelgood.”I’m guessing not. I’m guessing that when there is a high compose case like that he rants and raves about “runaway juries” and “jackpot justice.” I don’t read the Atlanta newspaper very often so I don’t know for sure but I would be willing to lay odds that Jim Wooten comes out strongly in favor of tort limits and limiting the ability of juries to determine financial awards. I would also bet that he is in advance of letting juries decide on death with less than a majority. You gotta like the consistency of conservative newspaper editorsAs for Wayne Williams. I don't know enough to have an opinion. But if Jim Wooten thinks he's guilty that's probably enough bear witness for a new trial all by itself.
