But my point was that the miscarriage of justice for Tim Cole was handled by lawyers. Sure, the cops zeroed in on him, but lawyers on both sides failed him. Lawyers should definitely be required to pay their respects.A Texas POhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05675916968621862855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-69154442495207703832012-02-14T13:30:51.043-06:002012-02-14T13:30:51.043-06:00Medical examiners should be included on that list....Medical examiners should be included on that list.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-494317442222561542012-02-14T12:16:00.169-06:002012-02-14T12:16:00.169-06:00Texas PO, that's a very good idea and the list...Texas PO, that's a very good idea and the list of mandatory visitors should include but not be limited to; <br /><br />-Police/Sheriff's Deputies<br /><br />-ADAs & All Investigators<br /><br />-Candidates for Judge/Mayor/Gov. <br /><br />-TDCJ Employees <br /><br />-High School Field Trips (Boys & Girls) <br /><br />-Makers & Suppliers of Pepper Spray to Corrections Depts. <br /><br />-TBP&P Board Members & Clemency Section <br /><br />-Probation & Parole Officers <br /><br />-Victims Rights Groups <br /><br />-LT.

More innocent men put in prison for a crime they didn't commit. The state of Ark allowed them to make an Alford plea after being locked up for 18 years, instead of just exonerating them. Such a sad miscarriage of justice.Tobi Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07946533630576832072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-83154908014935791832012-02-13T18:22:48.922-06:002012-02-13T18:22:48.922-06:00I certainly hope that all law schools in the state...I certainly hope that all law schools in the state use this as a key part of their lessons to law students.
