Ending rehearsed murder

Newsweek has three articles about the death penalty as reaction to the execution of Troy Davis. They were written by a man who had the job of executioner, who is haunted by the idea he has probably murdered an innocent man; a Georgia state Department of Corrections commissioner, who calls the practice "rehearsed murder;" and lawyer/novelist Scott Turow who believes we are taking steps towards repeal of the death penalty. Parts of those stories can get intense.
