Texas Death Row–Again

Does your sense of horror increase or decrease with each passing
announcement that the state will "administer" death as a "procedure"
accompanied by signed forms, armed guards, strict schedules, and
designated observers? As if cold-blooded killing can be a
solution to something…

Check out Austin Indymedia’s index
to sources in the scheduled killing of Frances Newton. Her
husband and children were shot at close range. When she called
police to report the crime, they tested her clothes and hands, but
found no blood or powder burns. In a recent interview, the
prosecutor allowed as how there was a second gun that they failed to
mention during trial, etc.  And yes, once again, we are talking about Harris County.–gm
