Anti-Death Penalty Group Claims Acquittal Supports Their Case
Philadelphia lawyers have petitioned the state Supreme Court to limit Washington County District Attorney Jason Walsh's ability to pursue the death penalty.
They cite the recent acquittal of one of their clients as evidence that Walsh has been misusing the threat of capital punishment against some homicide defendants.
The acquittal of one of their clients bolsters their claims that he has been unjustly wielding the threat of capital punishment.
The lawyers argue that this acquittal supports their case against the District Attorney.
