"California could kill an innocent person." I have written five federal judges, paying the ex-governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's request to commute the death sentence of Kevin Cooper, on death row since 1991. Schwarzenegger should grant a pardon before the end of his term, January 3 last year. He did not, passing the grain carefully to his successor, Democrat Jerry Brown.But the affair Cooper has become one of the thorniest political issues, the emblem of the many evils that afflict the American justice system. In particular, the system of capital punishment. The court case of Kevin Cooper begins with one of the most heinous crimes in the history of the state of California.
