Troy Davis & Duane Buck

In the Old Mole's regular feature "The Left and the Law," attorney Mike Snedeker and psychologist Jan Haaken discuss two current death penalty cases -- those of Duane Buck and  Troy Davis.   (Since this show aired, Davis has lost his bid for clemency and is scheduled for execution on Wednesday.)   Despite the ongoing legalized deaths in Texas and elsewhere, Snedeker argues that the future looks good for the abolition of capital punishment.
