Texas Executes Innocent Man
Why doesn't this surprise me.
Willingham juror no longer sure of his guilt in Texas case
(CNN) -- At least one member of the jury that sentenced Cameron Todd Willingham to death in the arson homicides of his three children says she is struggling with the idea that she might have convicted an innocent man.
It has been 17 years since Willingham was convicted in Texas of setting a house fire that killed his children, a crime Willingham vehemently denied right up until his execution in 2004.
Since that time, three investigations have concluded arson was not the likely cause of the 1991 fire, including one that arrived in Texas Gov. Rick Perry's office 88 minutes before the scheduled execution.

Cover your ass time for Texas' favorite right wing, Republican, secessionist.
Arson Expert: Perry's "Conflict" Hurts Panel's Credibility
A nationally known arson expert who had been scheduled to testify before a Texas panel probing an investigation that may have led to the death of an innocent man has slammed Governor Rick Perry's handling of the case.
In an email to an official for the Texas Forensic Science Commission, Craig Beyler called for the appointment of the panel members ousted by Perry last month, and the resignation of the new members that Perry appointed in their place. And he said that Perry, a Republican, should recuse himself from making appointments to the panel because -- having signed off on the execution despite a last minute bid from the convicted man's lawyer for a postponement -- the governor has a "conflict of interest."
Just days ahead of Beyler's scheduled testimony before the commission early this month, Perry declined to reappoint the panel's chair, as well as two other members whose terms were expiring. Perry appointed a new chair, who abruptly canceled Beyler's planned testimony.
The ousted chair, Sam Bassett, has said he was pressured by Perry aides about the direction of the commission's probe.

One wrong execution = 20,000 abortions...
You want to stop wrong killing? Then stop it all or shut up.

Easy to say until you are the one wrongly convicted. |

He must not have donated to the Obama election. All sorts of bad things can happen to you if you don't donate properly.

I'm an opponent of the death penalty for just this very reason and for my profound respect for life and individual liberty...
... and I see you bagging on me and not the person trying to use the story to score political points.
I hope you guys lose to the Raiders... |

I'd rather be cute than to condone a cult of death as we now see the Democrats doing with health care.
I'm anti-death. That's why I stopped being a Democrat. Didn't like the shoulders I was rubbing with...
Can't understand why you would get worked up over a single death... |

Let me get this straight, she voted to kill the guy and now she feels remorse? I don't see where he has been declared innocent.

The Democrat's cult of death? You're "anti-death"? LOL Blow it out your ass, AJ. Your cult of death (whether you recognize it as one or not) is no better than anyone elses. Your farts may not smell like anyone elses, but they still stink just the same. |

Yeah, I saw the outpouring of concern this week when even more troops died in the right war...
Quit flinging your hate. I'm not worthy of it.
If you condone murder, you have no right to get worked up over it.

It's the seriousness of the charge and a chance to hate Republicans...
That's all. |

I don't believe in the death penalty. I was once asked to serve on a jury. I told them I would never vote for a death penalty due to my spiritual belief. They excused me from jury duty.

Is there a quota of outpouring we're supposed to be meeting every week? I didn't get this memo.
Evaluation time. Evaluation time for AJ. Where was your outpouring this past week? The week before? The week before that?

You condone it be being a Texan and allowing the system to overlook minor details like facts in a case.
You will condone the ass whooping the Raiders are going to get by flipping through the channels for a better game than whoever is beating KC. Again.

Pookie, buy my car. I placed an ad in Columbia's Craigslist. It comes with a free 1/2 tank of gas.

We don't declare people innocent in our justice system. One is either sufficiently proven guilty, or isn't. |

Seen any facts in evidence? I haven't.
Nobody here has had ANY time to really research this case.
...
Why wouldn't I have a moral conscience? Because I'm not a pro-abortion Democrat?
Get real troll.

The Pookie sticker would increase the re-sell value. I'll have to consider this carefully. *nods* |
