Everyone executed or currently on death row was convicted of killing someone, but not everyone who killed someone got the death penalty.

The author appears to want to avoid discussing the details of the particularly brutal stabbing he was convicted of. It isn’t unreasonable to assume that’s because it undermines the claim that his sentence was driven by his orientation (IOW that a straight man would not have received the DP for the same crime).
