Subject: RE: BS: Petition to Free Leonard Peltier
""This Court has never held that the Constitution forbids the execution of a convicted defendant who has had a full and fair trial but is later able to convince a habeas court that he is "actually" innocent. Quite to the contrary, we have repeatedly left that question unresolved, while expressing considerable doubt that any claim based on alleged "actual innocence" is constitutionally cognizable.""

So, if one is proven guity and one cannot prove otherwise under habeas corpus but merely alleges he is innocent, he is guilty in the eyes of the courts. Ahhh, yeah, that's the way it works. Otherwise, open the doors... which, again, is pretty "quirky" to me.

I dunno IF you should go on.
