Subject: BS: Innocent man to be executed in Texas?
Delma Banks, Jr., will die by letal injection inTexas, Wednesday, March 12th. Mr. Banks is a "poster boy" for the movement to stop capital punishment because innocent people are beoing executed in America.

Convicted in 1980 of a murder that he probably did not commit, he will be the 300th person executed in Texas since the death penaly was restored. Mr Banks, who had no police record at the time of his arrest, was convicted with no other evidence than the testimony of an ex-felon, Charles Cook, who was trying to deal his way mout og yet another felony.

The case has brought the attention of former FBI chief William Sessions and two retired federal appeals court judges who think that Banks is going to executed as an innocent man.

So where are the pro-lifers on this one?
