No it isn't. It's pure fact, and the very article you posted lays it out as such. And the OP was clear only that you think this is about Perry being a dickhead. It really isn't. And it has everything to do with the laws of Texas.Solomwi is very wise. - Imran Siddiqui -

How so? He did nothing but uphold a perfectly legal and well-considered implementation of Texas law on capital punishment. As an aside, I find kind of surprising the notion that most Texans come down on the side of letting this particular murderer live. Austin, I can see, but we know it's bizarro Texas.Solomwi is very wise. - Imran SiddiquiComment

Perry is a dickhead, but not for this in particular. He's more of a dickhead for allowing Texas to execute a man who was likely innocent, while screwing with the investigation committee to prevent them from finding him at fault.Last edited by Boris Godunov; November 20, 2009, 13:53.Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment

All of you can certainly have your opinions on the death penalty.
Perry is a dickhead because the parole board of still Texas, who aren't known as pushovers, advised by a large margin to commute the sentence. The shooter is in for life.
I'm not saying this guy was a saint. I'm saying two things. The actual shooter in this crime got life and the board made their recommendation.
Perry, in his infinite wisdom, declined as he was headed out the door for a $400 hair trim.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Like I said earlier, your beef is with the laws of Texas, since that's what gives the governor that authority and keeps it from the parole board. The shooter's sentence doesn't matter.Originally posted by SlowwHand View Post
Boris, which execution was that?Solomwi is very wise. - Imran SiddiquiComment

Cameron Willingham.
I'll amend my statement to say that "likely innocent" is too strong, but rather that the evidence against him was far too insufficient to merit conviction, let alone execution.Tutto nel mondo è burlaComment

I remember that now, the arson case. Seems fair enough to pin the dickhead on him there.Solomwi is very wise. - Imran SiddiquiComment

Dickhead would be a pretty understated characterization. Obstruction of justice appears to be the proper nomenclature."Beware of the man who works hard to learn something, learns it, and finds himself no wiser than before. He is full of murderous resentment of people who are ignorant without having come by their ignorance the hard way. "

Actually the parole board has more power that the governor. It takes the affirmative action of both to modify the judicial sentence, but the Governor can not initiate anything or prescribe the terms of clemancy. His power in to affirm or veto the parole board. Only the parole board can initiate any clemancy or set what it till be. The clemency power the governor has beyond rubber stamping or vetoing the recomendation of the parole board is that he can grant a one time 30 day delay of sentence in a death penalty case. In many other states the governor has his own independant clemancy power.Originally posted by Solomwi View PostGaius Mucius Scaevola Sinistra

He wasn't guilty of murder in this case. Damn, dude. I'm about as staunch a supporter of the death penalty as can be found here, and I can see it isn't proper, no matter how many times Solomwi repeats himself that my problem is with the law, not the governor.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Sloww, the only real problem with this case is that they weren't able to have the other guy executed as well. The guy you are letting loose those crocodile tears for is just as responsible for those deaths as his accomplice.Originally posted by SlowwHand View PostI make no bones about my moral support for [terrorist] organizations. - chegitz guevara
