Already two lethal injection death penalties this year and we're only in the second month. This latest one could well have been innocent, Raheem Taylor had an alibi- he was in another state.
Kevin Johnson was executed last November in Missouri despite a court-appointed special prosecutor’s request to vacate his death sentence.
