Texas Executed An Innocent Father

[guno]

Any surprise in that backward inbred white trash run state


It’s official, the State of Texas executed an innocent man – an innocent father – after prosecutors deliberately concealed evidence in his children’s arson deaths. Now the state bar of Texas has filed a formal misconduct accusation against the prosecutor in this case.

The bar had already filed a petition in Navarro County, near Dallas, earlier this month that alleged that prosecutor John Jackson deliberately withheld evidence which indicated that Cameron Todd Willingham was innocent. Because of this, Willingham was executed in 2004 for supposedly murdering his three young daughters. His daughters died in a house fire back in 1991, but the evidence Jackson suppressed showed that Willingham had nothing to do with the fire that took his daughters from him.

Damn, this is a long time coming. I remember posting about this on another board before I joined this one, and it was an old story then.

Makes ya wonder how many other innocents have been executed by the Culture of Death in the interim....

 

[Kondor3]

The officials responsible for willfully suppressing evidence in this capital case should now stand trial for their own lives.

First degree murder... conspiracy... etc, etc., etc.

And, along with the death sentence for themselves, when found guilty, they can toss-in forfeiture of pay and pension and benefits, back-dated to the date of the commission of the crime, and the seizure of sufficient assets to satisfy the financial elements of the sentence.

Crushing their souls prior to execution with the despairing knowledge that they've ruined their families, as well.

That should send a very clear message to those types of Godless, soulless bastards who might otherwise consider such mischief.

It happens more than we are told. There are many innocent citizens in our prisons and jails, and some are on death row. Check "The Innocence Project" and other groups working to free innocent citizens. In America, your freedom is your luck. The prosecutor should get the death penalty also. That just might put a stop to low-life lawyers sending innocent citizens to prison. If we prosecuted and sentenced D.A.'s every time an innocent person was sent to prison, we'd soon cure the problem. The major cause of innocent citizens in our prisons is circumstantial evidence cases. There should never be a circumstantial case allowed in our courts. Either there is hard rock solid undeniable undisputable evidence of guilt, or there's no case and no trial. Until that happens, there will be no justice in America. And, until that day comes, we need to sentence D.A.'s to death row each time it's discovered that an innocent citizen has been sent to prison.

Eyewitness testimony is the least reliable. The Michael Brown scam showed that recently. Forensic evidence, though circumstantial, can be irrefutable, in many cases. The TV show Forensic Files shows dozens of these cases.Video evidence is also irrefutable. Anything less than irrefutable should not be a death penalty case at all.

If all this is true, it of course is sad, and anyone guilty, should be prosecuted. It still, however is not a case made against the death penalty in general. It is a case against bad jurisprudence.

It is still true that not imposing the death penalty, runs the risk of the convicted killers killing again, as has occured much more times than innocent people being executed.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Innocent people being executed should be an insurmountable bar to execution.

In the prosecutor's case, the DA's office is probably building a second degree murder or willful homicide case against Jackson. If it is built right, Jackson will ieave prison someday in a pine box.

FYI - Lab tests are unreliable. Check the recent FBI report on the number of citizens sent to prison on false lab analysis. Tainted lab tests have sent a lot of citizens to prison.

What's wrong with life without the possibility of parole?

If executions were barred (as they are already in some states) what is to be said for all the people that get killed because that execution did not occur ?

If Timothy McVeigh and John Allen Muhammad had not been executed, can we say everyone would have been safe from being killed by them ? We have a balance scale. On one side, all the people killed by killers who didn't get executed. On the other side, those executed wrongly. Does anyone in this thread have the complete numbers on that ?

When a thread starts like this, it should immediately be moved to badlands. Reported.

I haven't read anything past that line.

I very much doubt USMB would permit me to make a thread that starts with "savage thug ghetto niggas"

Yes. You can get the number easily from "The Innocence Project" and several more organizations that work hard to free innocent citizens. The information is readily available online. Also, exactly how can convicts hurt anyone when they are in prison for life without the possibility of parole? Who are they going to kill if they are serving a life sentence without the possibility of parole?

Obviously, you haven't been watching Forensic Files. Watch a few episodes of it tonight. You'll see what I'm talking about. In many cases, it has much more to do with than just a lb test or two. A very wide variety of forensic evidence is out there. Even certain unusual types of weed seeds have been critical in some cases. Tire tracks, sneaker tracks, glass inside vs glass outside. The numbers of these are staggering.

I am a very skeptical critic. The shows I've seen on Forensic Files, leave me NO DOUBT of the guilt of many killers I've seen.

I've watched the show many times. I also watch The ID channel as well. But, I also read the many stories made public of tainted lab tests, and the most recent FBI report on the faulty lab work done on hair samples that resulted in many innocent citizens going to prison. Lab tests are not 100% accurate. Mistakes are made, and lab techs are careless in some cases. All of this can easily be researched online. In addition, a lab in Texas several years ago, made many mistakes on DNA results that were used in trials. Many cases have been documented of false lab reports. And, even it happens just once, once is one time too many. Taking a person's freedom away is a cruel and inhumane act, by any standard.

It's quite obvious you are not ready for this debate. THOUSANDS of people have been killed by incarcerated inmates. They are 1) other inmates in the prison and 2) people outside killed by hits ordered by the convicted (non-executed) inmate.

Al Capone has been said to have ordered hundreds of these in just a few years of his incarceration, and he's only one guy. This is why gang leaders' mail is always (we hope) opened, and carefully screened, however gang leaders communicate using ever-changing codes, which prison officials have had difficulty keeping control over. Result has been killings ordered by the incarcerated gangsters. I'm surprised you didn't know this. It is quite commonly known.

1. Cost.

2. Lack of revenge.

I agree. So which is less "right" ? Risking innocent convicted convicts people being executed, or risking innocent people being killed by convicted killers who did not get executed. If we say one is more a risk than the other, because it has happened more often, then we're back to numbers again.
