Ashcroft Loses Another Death Case

At the insistence of Attorney General John Ashcroft, two men faced the death penalty in federal court in Binghamton, NY this week. They were convicted in June of killing a rival drug dealer. The jury could not agree on the penalty, which means the pair will get life in prison without parole. A third defendant was found to be mentally retarded the week before trial, and thus could not face the death penalty. He too will serve life in prison without parole.

Please don't feed the trolls.
