Further, are you suggesting that there was no news coverage of the crime, the investigation or trial of the victim? Pretty sure there was news coverage galore. So, what exactly was fault of the news media?

The story about the murder and the trial were covered here in Oklahoma in depth.
If there is one thing everyone here in Oklahoma agrees on is that the guy deserved the death sentence. Something that people here don't agree on is was the way he was executed legal? There is a great deal of evidence that it was not.
The state has laws about how this is to be done and from what I am hearing a lot of these laws were ignored. For people that think this is great the question is then what other laws do you think the state should ignore?
Should the state call upon the IRS to spy on your group? That would be ignoring the law so are they good with that?
