NYT: Was He Innocent? ANSWER: No. -

Yes, “later” in the sense of “20 years later.” For two decades, Alley never denied he’d murdered Collins. He only recalled that his confession was “coerced” in 2004, when he was trying to delay the hangman’s noose.

  Ann Coulter  "Here is this week’s installment of “The New York Times is ALWAYS lying about criminals (and probably everything else).”

"The Times desperately wants you to believe that there are actual cases of innocent people being put to death in America. Their current poster boy for the cause is Sedley Alley, executed in 2006. But the Criminal Lobby is hoping a post-mortem DNA test — on evidence that has nothing to do with his guilt or innocence — will allow them to howl that an INNOCENT man was executed!" . . .

. . . "Seventy-five years and counting with no credible evidence that a single innocent person has been put to death in America."

"I knew nothing about this case, but I knew the Times’ description of the facts was a lie. How did I know?

"1) No jury would have convicted a man, much less sentenced him to death, much less had that sentence repeatedly upheld, on such a flimsy record; and

"2) There is no credible evidence that a single innocent person has been put to death in this country for at least 75 years.

"Here are the facts the about the Criminal Lobby’s latest baby seal." . . .
