Brian Dugan's crimes -- and the murder of Jeanine was not the only one -- are horrific. But I hope that whoever ultimately decides Brian Dugan's fate bears in mind that he also had the moral courage to accept responsibility for a crime he alone committed, even though he knew that the blame had fallen elsewhere. In so doing he set in motion the chain of events that ultimately allowed two innocent men who had been sentenced to death to be restored to freedom. Dugan's evil deeds are extraordinary and repugnant, but his courage also was extraordinary.
