Another chance for Rick Perry to commit murder tomorrow.

[White Eagle]

The title is OTT and inaccurate imo. Perry is not going to be murdering anyone.

Ir's a chance. When they send him the message that Bartee is possibly innocent, all he has to to is ignore it like he did for Todd Willingham. Who WAS innocent.

 

[Jack Springer]

You really need lean how to accept an apology.

Arrogant.

Bartee pays for murdering his friend and neighbor at 6pm this evening.

cocktails afterwards

BTW - your thread title is misleading, lying, and baiting. You should have been forced to change it or have this thread closed.

Tokyo Rose, AKA Rose Toguri was exonerated because of faulty evidence and because a witness lied under oath. It's a good thing she didn't get the death penalty!

 

[White Eagle]

No the dead man had the dead man's hair in his hands. Do you wonder how that happened? You really really need to learn how to read.

Sorry, I duped this somehow.

First read on past your apology, I apologized for duping that post.
Now I don't know why you think this is baiting. I did mention that Perry executed Todd Willingham knowing he was innocent. This is another chance to add to his murdering ways. We'll see what he does this evening. If he allows the execution I will be saying more about the subject,.

 

[Kulindahr]

Right here is enough that the judge should have ordered a new trial:

prosecutors have cigarette butts and drinking glasses from the crime scene that still need testing

If you want to keep the death penalty, then I call for a simple reform:

any time a convict is found to be innocent, the convict is to be freed, and the prosecutor who got him/her there must serve a sentence of whatever time the innocent person say there. If an executed person is found to have been innocent, the prosecutor who argued the case gets executed -- no appeal.


After all, actions have consequences.

 

[White Eagle]

I like your style.

 

[Benvolio]

I like you

And of course, to perfect kulindahr's system, any judge or prosecutor who releases an accused who later commits another murder will be prospected as an accomplice. Same for defense lawyers who secures the release of a criminal who goes on to commit further crimes.

 

[Benvolio]

On a serious note, DNA testing makes it less likely that an innocent will be convicted . But it also gives defense lawyers an additional too to use in dallying by demanding more, ever more testing. In any crime scene there will dozens or hundreds of irrelevant stuff to test.
The other needed reform is this. The jury is required to find guilt beyond a reasonable doubt.BUT they often don't understand or properly apply the rule. Once the jury finds guilt, the focus on appeal is upon technicalities, including whether the evidence is sufficient. But the appeal courts and the Federal courts on petitions alleging Constitutional issues do not again, after the jury, decide guilt within a reasonable doubt or lack thereof. It would take excessive time for courts to retry the cases on the record, but perhaps in capital cases it should be required.

 

[White Eagle]

Well that wasn't exactly a quote, but true.
If you even knew anything about Texas government you just might understand what I am communicating.
I do believe Kuli was tongue in cheek.
You remind me of another trial here in Corpus Christi. A woman convicted of killing her foster son from ingesting great amounts of salt.
Turns out the Prosecutor failed to bring in evidence that would show her innocence. Nothing unusual about that here in Texas. It happens all the time. That's why we have so many people in prison.

I am happy to report that Perry went to bed last nite hungry. I got this email this last nite. So if any of you signed the petition, Thanks.

National Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty

Dear Fellow Abolitionists,

THANK YOU for signing the on-line petition asking the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles and Governor Rick Perry to grant a reprieve. I am pleased to share with you that earlier this evening, Anthony Bartee was removed from his holding cell adjacent to the execution chamber at the Walls Unit in Huntsville, Texas and returned to the death row prison in Livingston. His court-ordered stay having been upheld by the 5th Circuit Court of Appeals, he will not be executed tonight.

That meeting at the Republican talkfest a few months ago, where the person introducing Gov. Perry mentioned the execution of 234 prisoners under Perry's watch and the whole place burst into unlimited and massive applause, was so revolting to me that I briefly had a pre-puke feeling in my throat. I can remember that feeling only perhaps five times in the last forty years:

Twice when I was drunk
Once, nine years ago, when I was temporarily sick and nauseous
Once, about 10-12 years ago, when I saw a film about a meat farm, where somebody savagely beat away at a screaming pig

...and this.

Is that what we get from Pro-Lifers?

Thank God at least, for this one time, this guy's life has been spared...at least, hopefully, until they can be COMPLETELY certain that he committed the crime.

The title of the thread is quite sensational and alarmist, yes - but I also agree 100% with the wording.

 

[White Eagle]

You should have seen the celebrations when Perry topped Bush's record of deaths.
