On capital punishment, Clark told the crowd at the
event, organized by the Arkansas Black Legislative Caucus,
"I’m very uneasy about the death penalty."
He called for "unpacking all those cases"
to see if death sentences were wrongly applied.
Clark said he is concerned by mounting evidence that
legal mistakes are often prevalent in capital sentences.
But Clark said that he believes government should retain
the right to apply the death penalty in clear and compelling
cases. He cited the possible capture of Osama bin Laden
as such a case.
