Unbelievable. How do these people sleep at night? Any of them?
Oh, this is in Texas. That explains quite a bit. I bet the convicted man was African-American, and the appeals judge white, too.
I'm very sad for this man, may he rest in peace. He may not have led a perfect life, but nobody deserves an end like this. I can't imagine what the attorney feels. I hope this conviction can be overturned posthumously, not that it would make up for anything. I'm very, very sad for this country and our excuse of a justice system. :/
