This post of yours reduced me to tears. Maybe because I have worked in the prison Service as a Warden, and dealt with many people convicted of murder (which here in UK does not result in death penalty) and have seen in some cases christian repentance, and in other cases have questioned whether the individual had been rightly convicted.

But mostly because I agree with you - that there is *still* this invidious underlying racism in the hearts of some people... and that description of a man "like a flower opening and the petals come up"... and yes, so many many people have endured hatred and injustice.

And tears for you too, Michael - tears of thanksgiving for your decency and speaking out.

This man - this beloved one of the Holy One - should *never* have been murdered.

And how amazing - the compassion of the vitim's family too...

This whole case is too sad for words.

God - the ever holy and ever just - will be vindicated.

"I will wipe every tear from their eyes."

And Dominique will behold the Lord in all his glory and beauty.

And God will prove his innocence.
