12. That he can be killed by the state (aka constitutionality of
the death penalty) is well established by SC before and independently of this case. Arguments against death penalty have nothing to do with the rules for
introducing additional evidence, which is at issue here. What is novel here is that it now appears to be legal to kill someone whose innocence is, in principle, fully
proven by that new evidence. It is also legal now to keep such person in prison for the remainder of his sentence, which could be for the rest of his life.
