Alabama death penalty

Dr. Bentley, Stop This Murder Now

I had all sorts of interesting topics rolling around in my mind this week about healthcare reform. This morning I realized there was only one thing I could or should talk about today. Today, for the third time in a week in my country, there will be a murder—a legally mandated murder. Today my state will kill Derrick O’Neal Mason.

Our governor, Dr. Robert Bentley— a physician—has said he will not intervene. I guess he has figured out some way in his mind to put aside both the Commandments of his faith and the Hippocratic Oath as not relevant.
