I
suspect this act will stand him in good stead during the 2008
presidential election. Whatever the level of calculation, it was
the right thing to do in a case where a clerk of the state illegally
destroyed forensic evidence before it could be subjected to a
definitive DNA test. For Lovitt, it was either incredibly lucky
-- if he's guilty -- or disastrous -- if he's not -- but for the a
state administering a death sentence, pretty much unpardonable.
