Summary

Zeigler, as you now know was not given a fair trial, and since DNA testing was not available in the '70's he was sentenced to death. Not once, but twice, in two different appeals to court. It seems as if the people who convicted him of this brutal crime are reluctant to follow through with killing him, because he's been on death row for 35 years.(zeigler-article ). They know the trials were not fair and they know there wasn't enough hard evidence to convict him, but of course it happened anyway; so if they really did put him to death and he was found innocent later on they'd have that hanging over their heads. Sentencing an innocent man to death is murder in itself. At least 39 executions are claimed to have been carried out in the U.S. in the face of evidence of innocence or serious doubt about guilt.^[6]
