Beware the Witnesses!!

• The state of Illinois abolished the death penalty in 2011 because…
• Of the 27 people on death row… 13 were cleared by DNA evidence.

• And all were on death row primarily due to eye witnesses.

  Last week a man was released after 21 years in prison for murder after the witness who testified against this man; had a moment of conscience and claimed responsibility for the above mentioned murder.

Then there’s that ridiculous Van Gogh cutting off his ear and giving it to a prostitute!?!? The witness to this crime was master swordsman Paul Gauguin who Vincent was angry at for leaving.

Beware the witnesses!
