[edit] Confessions
At the risk of speaking to the wind I will address the unregistered user who insists on inflicting his viewpoint on this article.
The confessions I added are sourced. The primary sources include those favourable to Ryan. Fr. Brosnan cannot be said to be anything but pro-Ryan and he provides the most telling confession. It is not an answer to a fact you find inconvenient to simply say "all persons are now dead". Of course they are. Ryan was executed forty years ago!
Nor is "hearsay" a sensible argument. It is always hearsay when A says he heard B confess to a crime.
This article should not be an opportunity for those who oppose capital punishment to push their barrow. Unless a sensible argument is commenced here I will restore the section. Avalon 06:05, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

"Whatever the case of the actual laws of the state, Ryan was morally guilty of causing the death of the prison warden" - While the legal part may be true, the writers opinion on morality surely has no place in an encycopedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.113.57.161 (talk) 10:27, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Thehangedmanronaldryan.jpg
Image:Thehangedmanronaldryan.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
