Oh...good point LittleHawk...I didnt mean to sound as though I were advocating vengence. Murder victims are not helped in any way by their murderers being put to death as well, and in light of the current problems in our judicial system, I am not really in favor of the death penalty. But if someone does commit a violent crime, we need to try to prevent them from doing it again by some means, and declaring them innocent won't address the problem at all. I also don't mean to say that Mr Sexton is guilty...just that he could be, and we shouldn't assume that the jury was wrong in their verdict just because they were white. Again, The racial issues really do need to be addressed, but not at the expense of convicting people of crimes they really did commit.
