Murder of Santos Rodriguez (en.wikipedia.org)

Two Dallas Police officers broke into a private home without a warrant, snatched two boys, 12 & 13 years old, out of their beds, handcuffed them, drove them to a burglary scene, and then one cop, in a "game of Russian roulette as interrogation technique" supposedly gone horribly wrong, blew the cuffed and seated 12-year-old boy's brains out.

He served two and half years in prison.

Fingerprinting later confirmed the boys had nothing to do with the burglary.

Worse than that. Doing it under color of law makes it a more serious crime than even murder alone. Or, I suppose several other additional crimes.

I would say he should have fried but I cannot support the state applying the death penalty to citizens, even when it is richly deserved.
