Being unreasonable about reasonable doubt

Tommy Arthur to die tomorrow, but can't we live without the death penalty?

We are making a grave mistake, and no pun is intended. The state and, by extension, the citizens of Alabama, must not put Tommy Arthur to death tomorrow. (Read our editorial here.)

There are too many questions concerning Arthur's guilt. Maybe he is guilty. But maybe he isn't, and if there is a "maybe he isn't" guilty, he cannot be executed. C'mon, Gov. Riley: Order DNA testing for Arthur. C'mon, Mr. Attorney General King: Check out that dude who says he did the crime, though Arthur is doing the (limited) time.

We cannot execute Arthur while there are legitimate questions. Why are we so unreasonable where there is reasonable doubt? Let's stop the killing by refusing to kill Tommy Arthur.
