Texas Gov. Questioned Over Handling of Death Penalty Investigation
Pay attention to this case out of Texas: Texas governor questioned over handling of death penalty case. The evidence in this case is abundantly clear: Texas put an innocent man to death. There’s no way this is the first such case in Texas or elsewhere, but it is the first one in which the evidence is overwhelming and extremely hard to refute. And that’s what makes this so ugly. Texas Gov. Rick Perry, instead of standing up and saying we need to do better to make sure this doesn’t happen again, is trying his best to derail an investigation that will officially say what all the experts who have looked at the case already have said: That Texas killed an innocent man. This is why I have such a problem with the so-called justice system. We know there are innumerable inequities inherent within the system and tons of mistakes made every day. After all, it is a system made up of flawed people. But when we get it wrong and know we’ve gotten it wrong — and then stonewall for political reasons to not allow that truth to come forward, that’s, frankly, down right disgusting and gives folks like me even more reason to hate the system. Gov. Perry should be ashamed. And he shouldn’t be allowed to hide the truth.

Hey this was doubtlessly one of the best posts I’ve had the chance to go over on the topic so far. I don’t understand where you gather up all of your info but up! I’m gunna send a few people to this site to read this. Fantastic, just plain fantastic. I am just getting into writing articles myself, nothing close to your writing potential (doh) but I would love for you to look over my work in progress someday! bowfelx series 7 treadmill
