Done deal

I was reading William Poyck's weblog tonight, in between listening to replaying my interviews with the Langley family in my head. Poyck writes:

"Christopher Scott Emmett has a June 13, 2007 execution date, and in Virginia that means it's a done deal..."

On the other hand, the Langley family fears that something may happen and the execution may not happen. Gene and Michael Langley, respectively the brother and son of John Fenton Langley, are convinced that there's still a chance that Emmett could have his sentence commuted to life in prison. Odd isn't it - how our greatest fears become our strongest perceptions.
