On the face of it, I would generally tend to agree, however two juries have now failed to give Nichols the Death Penalty -- the Federal one here in Denver and the State jury in Oklahoma.
As I said before, I didn't follow the Oklahoma trial, but the two separate groups of his/our peers must have seen something that we don't.
If that's true, then this could be exactly the purpose of the American Justice system -- to spare the life of one man involved in the same event, while executing another.
I don't understand the decisions, but I have a fair amount of faith in the system as a whole.
