And Tonight, Tennessee Will Execute A Man In A Death Eligible Case, Where The State FORCED Him To Trial WITHOUT COUNSEL.

This is… deplorable.

Moments ago, the Supremes (the five of them, anyway) refused to hear / look at Mr. Carruther’s emergency petition.

Later tonight, Tennessee will execute a man it never bothered to do DNA testing on, despite collecting DNA of the supposed killer, at the crime scene — and then relied on jailhouse informants. Some years later, his co-death eligible defendant won a new trial — and was released from jail, entirely — in 2015.

Finally, this man was forced to represent himself by the local Tennessee prosecutor and judge, in a death eligible case — in direct violation of Gideon v. Wainwright. Damn. This is… shameful. Out.
