The State is preparing to execute Vernon Madison tomorrow, a man who not only is severely physically and emotionally handicapped but who received Alabama style justice. To be specific, Vernon Madison’s 3 trials were replete with prosecutorial misconduct, tainted racist jury selections and in the third trial 8-4 judicial override of life without the possibility of parole. Alabama style justice!
