Time behind bars can change a man, especially 30 years. All that time, alone in your thoughts, and replaying that horrible day you did the unthinkable. I don’t think the now-executed Lee Hall should have been freed but rewarded for his good behavior for these past 30 years.
The fact they sent a man his death who served 30 years with not even a misdemeanor on his prison record is absurd. The time he did and with the condition he was in, Lee should have been given a chance for a retrial with the chance of a life sentence without death row or probation. But the controversial killing of a blind man could have been prevented if not for the Department of Correction.
The Department of Correction knew Lee Hall had glaucoma since 2010 and failed to listen to the medical recommendations. Everyone should have the right medicine and to not be in pain, no matter how much pain they have given to the world.
Killing a blind person who is no longer any harm to this world is wrong and not what this amazing country represents.
