Texas Executed An Innocent Father

[JoeB131]

There are a lot of good reasons not to elect Rick Perry, but this isn't one of them.

Todd Willingham was guilty as sin.

Guilty? ...... Did you personally examine all evidence, question all witnesses, personally supervise the handling and testing of all lab related material, and listen to the entire trial? Or, are you merely assuming guilt based on news releases and second-hand information? In other words, are you just expressing an opinion based on gut feelings, or do you have something that we don't have to base your finding on?

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.

As long as the death penalty is there, and in such an instance where authorities mis-use the system, the posted proposal seems just.
There are fundamental problems with the death penalty, both pro and con.

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.

Texas Executed An Innocent Father After Prosecutor Hid Evidence In Kids Arson Deaths

I'm curious as to whether or not any of you actually READ this article?

From the article

according to the petition and complaint filed. Forensic evidence from the arson investigators was later discredited by experts who claimed that the investigators had “misinterpreted” the evidence.

prosecutors aren't required to hire experts to examine the work done by their own investigators, nor are they required to tell the defense if someone else has.

Also, there is no actual proof that this guy didn't commit the murders.

Morons

True?

If so, then I take back my call for the prosecutor(s) to be subjected to capital charges.

Whoops.

No. He wasn't. In fact, his case propelled massive changes to throw out pseudo science.

You do realize that many on death row are there due to circumstantial evidence?

They are there because they were found guilty by a jury of their peers.

Yes, you're correct. But, in circumstantial evidence cases, the verdict is always based on "gut feelings", "could've been", "might have been", and the smooth talking silvered tongued ability of the prosecutor to convince the jury. Circumstantial cases are not based on hard rock solid concrete undeniable undisputable evidence. Circumstantial cases merely say that it was possible that a person committed the crime. In addition, false witnesses, tainted evidence, and misidentification of a person, have all played a part in wrongful convictions. Check "The Innocence Project" for details and examples.

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.

As long as the death penalty is there, and in such an instance where authorities mis-use the system, the posted proposal seems just.
There are fundamental problems with the death penalty, both pro and con.

The COST factor and the REVENGE factor are not solved through life imprisonment, and, there is always the chance that some flake bleeding heart will parole them in future.

You are correct that there is always a chance of misuse of power and that there is always a chance of mistaken conviction.

That is an excellent argument for better Quality Control and Monitoring and Review of the entire process, built into the judicial process, in order to avoid such mistakes.

It is an excellent argument for better Quality Control, NOT an end to Capital Punishment.

Most folks understand that you can never take-back an execution, once completed... shit happens.

Most folks also understand the maxim: "Better that a hundred guilty men go free than than one innocent man be convicted."

It's just that - within the domain of heinous crimes - that old maxim just doesn't pass the Sniff Test, in the Real World.

If we shoot or hang or fry or gas or inject 99 murderers, and then make the mistake of doing the same to 1 innocent man, that's a fantastic batting average.

The life of that 1 person is not enough to offset the benefits (cost, revenge) of killing the other 99.

Shit happens.

I agree wholeheartedly with any proposal to create fresh standards and processes and reviewing and monitoring for capital cases that prevents most such incidents...

Such reform measures should also also greatly accelerate the appeals process...

Murderers should be waiting 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 or 5 years to die, not 10 or 20 or 30 or more...

Capital punishment should be 'reformed' and rendered as close to mistake-proof as humanly possible... not abolished.

Well, " IF " you were that "one person" out of a hundred, as you have stated, I doubt very seriously that you'd still feel the same as your comment implies. Can you imagine yourself totally innocent of any crime, yet in prison serving time on death row? Would you still consider yourself as collateral damage of the system you believe in? It's easy for you to pass-off that one person who is innocent, yet serving time, as merely collateral damage in order to ensure the other 99% pay the price for their crimes. Ever tried putting yourself on death row for a crime you didn't commit? I thought so.

How about the fact he confessed to his ex wife?

Cameron Todd Willingham s Ex-Wife Stacy Kuykendall Says Texas Shouldn t Pardon Him EXCLUSIVE

But by 2004, she had declared Willingham guilty. She told the Corsicana Daily Sun that a close examination of the evidence persuaded her that Willingham was not innocent.

In 2009, she unleashed a startling accusation that Willingham confessed the crime to her when she visited him on death row. Though she hadn't said this to investigators or during his trial, Kuykendall said she threatened to divorce Willingham the night before the fire.

She stood by that claim in her statement to HuffPost

Yep... ya pays yer money and takes yer chances.

That's why it's so important to do everything that we can to minimize the risk of that happening.

As things stand now, such Quality Control is oftentimes insufficient to prevent such mistakes OR such intentional and malignant mischief on the part of officials.

They say that the Devil is in the details, and there are a thousand-and-one ways to construct a series of Reforms and Safeguards for such matters.

All one needs is a little imagination and an understanding of the need for secondary or tertiary review by outside-the-jurisdiction non-stakeholders - a peer review process - in order to devise vastly better standards and quality control measures, which can also double as a means to accelerate the entire review and appeals process.

If we kill 99 Bad Guys and accidentally kill 1 Good Guy, that's an Acceptable Loss Ratio.

The Law is meant to be impersonal and cold and logical in such matters.

Touchy-feely - even in connection with ourselves or our own people - doesn't really enter into it.

But, of course, it has to be administered by men and women of backbone.
