Casey Anthony’s lawyer: “We need to think twice about a country that kills its own citizens.” Um - ABORTION?

People that live in darkness tend to be blind to evil. Case in point is Casey Anthony's lawyer Jose Baez who came out against the death penalty saying this (via Jill Stanek):

I think that this case is a perfect example of why the death penalty does not work and why we all need to stop and look and think twice about a country that decides to kill its own citizens. Murder’s not right no matter who does it, whether its a ritual killing or someone becoming a victim in a drive-by shooting. It’s disgusting, and I think if this case gets any attention, it should focus on that issue, that we need to stop trying to kill our people. The best feeling that I have today is that I know I can go home and my daughter will ask me, “What did you do today?” and I can say, “I saved a life.” ~  Jose Baez, Casey Anthony’s attorney, July 5, via Mediaite

Um - dude: abortion? Hello? That and the absurd assertion that capital punishment is murder. From where does Baez draw a moral judgement such as that? The Bible clearly condones and encourages it, both in the Old and new Testaments. In those days, Casey Anthony would be buried along with her murdered child already.
