Workman's Execution

There seemed to be a lot of evidence against Phillip Workman's gun being the one that killed that officer back in 1981. People seem to think executing him even though he may not have fired the fatal shot is justified. They claim that since he robbed that Wendy's and those events led to the death of another human being he is guilty of murder. I see the logic, but don't think I agree with it.

I don't know the details of the case, but I think executions should be reserved for people directly responsible for violent acts.

i don't know all the facts in the case either but i now see why everyone was so up in arms about this case being given the death penalty.

there is a very fine line for what actions cause what results.
