Dylann Roof sentenced to death for Charleston church massacre

I know a person who is sitting in Angola now. He was 18 at the time and he and a friend were high and decided to rob a cab. The friend winded up shooting and killing the driver.
They were both caught and charged with murder.

Really don't want to go into the trial circus; but both were given death sentence. Person I know sat on death row for years and was 5 minutes away from being put to death but was granted reprieve .

Law group out of New York looked at his case and got charges changed to life. They wanted to take case back to court but most of the evidence came up missing and the person was afraid he would get same judge and receive death penalty again.

Another note his friend was changed to life and then he winded up killing another inmate. Enough about him.

Person turned 50 this year, So that is 32 years he has been in. All the wardens like him and even one takes him to his home ( on prison land) to do small jobs and just leaves him there just to hang out.

This warden even got him into the early release program and thinks he might just have a good chance to get out. I am happy about this , but from being in so long i know he will have problems adjusting.

So after all this I am not sure how I feel about the death penalty. Person was in wrong place at wrong time and could have been put to death even though he was not the one who did the murder.
