Thread Name: BS: Innocent man to be executed in Texas?
Subject: RE: BS: Innocent man to be executed in Texas?
In reading a lot of online about this case, there seems to be a lot of differing info on ALL aspects of the case. It was so obvious that this one was one that needed another hard look. When the review board turned it down becasue it was filed late, the chairman said that his attorneys had "missed by a mile" and that had they accepted the petition they "would not have had time" to review it properly! For Christ's sake, have these fuckheads never heard they could actually postpone the execution.....I mean it IS their job and all......

Barry Finn, once again my friend you speak with eloquence on a tough topic. If one innocent person is executed the system is flawed. I have been privileged to hear both Sam Shepard Jr, and Mo Dees talk on the subject and I am continually amazed that anyone can claim to live in a humane and just society when the death penalty is still seen with any favor.
