I'll have a look at that. I'm currently addicted to programmes about the Indian Railway system on BBC4 and Yesterday. I'm not interested in trains at all but these programmes feature the stories of people who work in and around the railways - guards, hawkers, kids shining shoes on the platforms, their families and dreams. I marvel at their good humour, hard work and determination. It's very moving.
 
It's a good program, came to England to escape the land of the free I noticed.

I hope he enjoys his freedom. I think given his crimes which were self confessed he still should have done some time but obviously never should have been on death row.

For someone so eloquent I'm just wondering why he stopped a stolen car while high on meth and started a fight with an armed cop and then while in custody tried to weasel his way out early by grassing up a fellow junkie for an unrelated murder, and was then surprised they threw the bloody book at him.

Not the best Karma to be completely fair, truth has won out eventually.

American legal system is dodgy at best.
