Birmingham News: This is an easy decision

They're again calling on Gov. Bob Riley to allow testing of evidence in the case of Thomas Arthur. The state had planned to put Arthur to death on Dec. 6, but the Supreme Court halted the execution around 5 p.m. the day before. Testing the evidence could put the issue of Arthur's guilt or innocence to rest once and for all. "Riley is called on to make many difficult decisions as governor. But this isn't a difficult one. Riley should order DNA testing for any Death Row inmate who disputes his guilt and whose case involved evidence that could be screened," says the Birmingham News.
