So Radley, what happens now? Will every case Hayne has had a hand in in the past 20 years be re-opened?

I am going to Ms this fall and plan to put thumb screws on the state…to continue to dig into this proverbial can of worms…until they get down to the dirt and slime.

I had the priviledge to speak to Devin Bennett on death row this morning and gave him the news. He shouted it out to the entire corridor! Needless to say there are a lot of tears of joy.

But we have only just begun. The state MUST be made to review each and every case Hayne touched. I will not rest until this is
done! This is a monumental victory however we cannot assume for a minute that it is over and that justice has been served.

It ain’t over ’til the FAT LADY SINGS, and I haven’t even hummed a NOTE yet!

More than anybody, your extremely insightful research and hard work helped make this happen.

I wrote you about ten months ago to celebrate your work. We were both pretty pessimistic, but your research helped make our justice system better.

Thanks for that.

I wonder if he’s going to sue? Supposedly his dismissal letter gave no reason.

You’re not wrong. Sorry.

Me too, good sir. Me too.

Thanks, Radley.

Congratulations! You have caused the removal of an [allegedly] incompetent government employee who threatened the safety. In the future, men and women cleared of capital offenses by a more competent medical examiner may not remember Balko or Reason, but I am sure that the state of Mississippi’s AG office and the state’s coroners and medical examiners will. Well done!

I hope I’m wrong, though.

But they’ll give him a golden parachute, no doubt, when he deserves what you say. As I said earlier, mother fucker must pay. I doubt he will but I will be quite pleased, as I am sure all of us will, if he is rightfully punished.

Radley, I asked this in the last post but I don’t want it to get lost in the shuffle so I’ll ask again here . . . any early word on this being good news for getting Corey out of jail? Or will this not help at all?

“16 If a malicious witness takes the stand to accuse a man of a crime, 17 the two men involved in the dispute must stand in the presence of the LORD before the priests and the judges who are in office at the time. 18 The judges must make a thorough investigation, and if the witness proves to be a liar, giving false testimony against his brother, 19 then do to him as he intended to do to his brother. You must purge the evil from among you. 20 The rest of the people will hear of this and be afraid, and never again will such an evil thing be done among you.”

Hayne has insisted Bennett is wrong, saying he would stake his entire reputation and career on it. He has said he is the victim of a witch hunt by the Innocence Project and other death penalty opponents.

You don’t have to be an opponent of the death penalty to despise everything he has done and stood for in his career. In fact, with the number of people he has condemned to suffer grave injustice through his greed and incompetence, the only legitimate punishment for his false testimony is death.

In a just society, Hayne would now be facing the death penalty for his actions. His negligence, on matters of such grave importance to his fellow man, is such a deeply immoral pattern that a just society would never show him an ounce of mercy or compassion for the lives he’s ruined.
