The state of Texas is about to execute an innocent man

Posted on January 9, 2009 by Charles Kuffner

Even as DNA evidence has freed numerous wrongly convicted men, mostly from Dallas but some from Houston, the official party line in Texas, from former Governor Bush to current Governor Perry, has always been that the state has never executed a provably innocent inmate. As things stand today, I believe that will change on January 27. Go read this story about Larry Swearingen and Melissa Trotter, the woman he could not have murdered, and see if you don’t agree. And get enraged all over again at the corrupt, obscene travesty known as the Court of Criminal Appeals and its utter indifference to justice.

    If someone doesn’t overturn this case, then I predict the death penalty itself will be repealed within the next decade or so. Even a death-penalty favoring public will not tolerate the execution of an obviously innocent man.
