Excerpt:

A condemned killer attempting to delay his execution because of his harsh weight hasn't raised enough new problems to necessitate the legal obstacle, a federal judge ruled Monday. Death row inmate Ronald Post, who weighs at least 400 pounds, is asking the courts to stop his January execution on the premises his weight can trigger him to suffer severe discomfort during the procedure. Post is prohibited from challenging his execution by injection because he raised comparable cases in his first set of federal appeals in 1997, Judge Lesley Wells stated Monday in Cleveland. In general, death row inmates are just enabled one federal appeal when affirming the exact same set of facts.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
