Milbarge has this lengthy post about the Coleman case, which includes the obligatory reference to this blog as the SW Virginia embassy to the legal blogosphere.
M. says:
"If the new DNA tests clear Coleman, I expect abolitionists to say 'I told you so' and supporters to say 'It doesn't change our overall need for capital punishment.' If the tests inculpate Coleman, I expect supporters to say 'I told you so' and abolitionists to say 'It doesn't change the systemic problems with capital punishment.'"
I'd say that's right.
UPDATE: Also, this post on the Coleman case from reason.com generated a couple dozen comments, some of them surprisingly insipid for reason.com readers.
