Bad Old Days Revisited

Image: lunch counter from the bad old days

Imagine a lunch counter where white people freely entered but black people were systematically turned away, being told it was because of their clothes, their hair, or the way they walked.

Issue quote: Ashley Pennington - Robert Behre, "1 in 5 death penalty cases led to death row," Post and Courier. March 15, 2010

One capital case absorbs the resources of another 200 cases. I don't think I'm exaggerating. The truth is, I can spend an 18-month period working out 50 major cases or one capital case.

— Ashley Pennington, Charleston County, South Carolina Public Defender
