Florida might soon execute an innocent man, reminding us why conservatives should oppose the death penalty

Last year, a man named Rodney Reed was scheduled for execution in Texas despite the presence of evidence that might exonerate him. For some reason, this case blew up in the news, with celebrities tweeting about it and thousands signing onto a petition that might save him. His execution is currently under a stay.

While the spotlight shone heavily on Texas and its bloody history of problematic death sentences, several similar cases in other states progressed without much media coverage. One of those cases was that of James Dailey in Florida.
