Like Jim Henley, I haven’t written about the Cory Maye case. It combines a lot of issues that interest me - the war on drugs, militaristic policing, railroading of “cop killers", the death penalty - but there isn’t much I can say about it that Radley Balko isn’t saying better.

So let me just echo Henley:

If Cory Maye wins his appeal, this will be The Blogosphere™’s greatest victory - it won’t be merely collecting metaphorical scalps in interparty sniping. It will be a life saved from unjust execution.

Unless, of course, you believe that your blog is America’s last line of defense against Islamofascism.
