The condemned man could not be reached for comment.

A prosecutor who notched his belt with a death penalty conviction may be learning that the take-no-prisoners attitude of many like him is ill advised. No prosecutor should ever let the cops make his charging decisions for him. We know too much about the flimsiness of "eye"-witnesses and the power of suggestion to trust them as the sole basis for a capital case.
