The whole "recanted their stories" bullshit is just that. If you really checked that out you'd also know that 2 of the recanters weren't called to testify in the sentencing phase. That's because the defense knew their recanted stories wouldn't hold up under cross examination. There is no question this guy shot and killed the officer. All of them also recanted after the trial and they were all "friends" of the defendant. Trial lawyers, even for the defense, will tell you that's not uncommon. They'll also tell you the changed stories are generally unreliable.
There is no question in the world this guy did. Three Air Force members, who had no connection to the defendant other than being witnesses, also picked him out of a lineup as the shooter.
This guy is as guilty as the day is long. The "recanted stories" line is a distraction engineered by anti-death penalty types, plain and simple.
Good riddance to this scumbag.
