Talk:Rainey Bethea

message: "something they saw as their ethical duty for the indigent defendant"
Reverse the races and I'm sure it would be defined as looking out for one of their own. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.46.245.146 (talk) 08:07, 10 June 2007
:More than just their ethical duty to defend the indigent, the appeal lawyers were also remedying what is widely regarded as incompetent counsel during his trial. As for "one of their own", clearly we know that's how local *white* lawyers felt, as none of them lifted a finger during the appeal. And what's your motivation, anonymous?

message: Rainey Bethea spent only nearly two months on death row. It would be interesting if he had spent a year or more on death row, probably because his lawyers filed only one appeal. Cookfoodchef1 (talk) 21:18, 29 May 2021 (UTC)

message: In 1906, a law passed in Kentucky required a prisoner to be executed in exactly a month. Was it like this if the prisoner did appeal? Cookfoodchef1 (talk) 21:19, 29 May 2021 (UTC)
