by Seth Halpern Editor Human found himself in prison on death row. He didn’t just appear there. He had done a lot to get himself into that hopeless predicament. Drugs, Armed Robbery, even Murder were all part of Human’s rap sheet. He was scheduled for execution, but the legal red tape held off the final consequence.
