true, but I figured there's more desert in arizona

however, I've rethought the wastefullness of the idea and feel that it'd be better to start putting offenders on the organ doner list. with immediate donation...

we can start with murderers and rapists and wall street criminals, and then as the elite start getting used to a better supply of replacement parts, expand the program to burglars, and thieves, and pretty soon we'll be down to those folks that commit minor traffic offenses, or, as pointed out earlier in the thread by our favorite windy granny, people who unknowingly violate vague cryptic laws.... into the organ banks with you!!!

Two relevant points from this news story.

1. An innocent man spent 23 years in prison.

2. The air in prison was cleaner than the air in the Bronx and after he was released he had an asthma attack and died.

NEW YORK (AP) — A New York City man freed after serving 23 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit died over the weekend, his attorney said Monday.

William Lopez passed away on Saturday due to complications from an asthma attack, attorney Dennis Kelly said.

The death came days before Lopez's $124 million federal civil lawsuit against the city for false imprisonment was set to begin.

Kelly said a pre-motion conference that had been set for Monday was adjourned to Oct. 17.

"The case can't go forward until we can get someone appointed as a representative to the estate, and that will probably be his wife Alice," he said.

Jeffrey Deskovic, whose Jeffrey Deskovic Foundation for Justice, helped connect Lopez with his legal team and highlight his case, called Lopez's death "unfortunate and untimely."

"We are proud of the significant role the foundation played in securing his freedom," said Deskovic, whose foundation also provided Lopez with housing and helped with other issues. "Bill made it a priority to continue the fight against the wrongful convictions of others."

He said Lopez had hoped to use any money he got from the lawsuit to travel, go to law school and set his wife up in business.

The 55-year-old Bronx man was freed in January 2013 after a judge threw out the murder conviction, calling the 1989 case "rotten from Day 1."

Brooklyn District Attorney Kenneth Thompson dropped an appeal by his predecessor Charles Hynes.

The case involved two men who shot a drug dealer with a double-barreled shotgun. Although no murder weapon or forensic evidence was found at the scene, prosecutors relied on two witnesses

The Eighth Amendment prohibits officials from being deliberately indifferent to the serious medical needs of prisoners and detainees.
