    This quote is about never wishing a man dead. Clarence Darrow was a famous late 19th to early 20th century litigator who vehemently opposed the death penalty. He’d never wish anyone dead, he’s fundamentally opposed to death as a punishment, but that doesn’t mean he’s sad when a bad person dies.
