Governor
Mike Parson won’t make freeing an innocent man from prison a priority. He has
too many other things to do than to release a man who spent decades in prison
for a murder he didn’t commit.
However,
the governor DID find time to sign a law saying that diners may now order
take-out liquor. He also found time to sign a measure limiting pandemic-related
lawsuits. Anything to help keep business alive and humming.
Perhaps Kevin
Strickland needs a business sponsor: Someone who can point out a dollars-and-cents
reason to do justice.
While we’re waiting for the governor to act like a human being, and for laws to be enacted around the country making it illegal to keep people incarcerated when they have been proven innocent, maybe authorities can let Mr. Strickland out on a twenty-year work furlough.
