Give Victims a Voice

Re “Executing the Retarded Is a Shameful Legal Relic,” Commentary, June 26: “With effort, Johnny Ray Anderson could figure out that one plus one was two. Two plus two, however, was beyond him,” started yet another anti-death penalty story. Yet Anderson was smart enough to kill. Nowhere do the writers mention the crime(s) of Anderson. It never mentions the pain and suffering the victims’ families endured. This anti-death penalty infomercial proves once again how biased the media are when it comes to covering the death penalty issue.
