I went to the link Scott gave, and found it to be a pretty simple procedure. <BR/><BR/>FWIW, my own personal stance is that there are probably some rare cases where the death penalty is the only viable option. This case, however, is at the opposite end of the spectrum. If they go forward with this, I, and I suspect a lot of others who feel as I do, will move towards supporting total elimination of the death penalty. I think Scott is right, the governor needs to hear from folks like myself who are not outright opposed to the death penalty, but will become so if this man is executed without true due process.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-53857384905910294202007-08-13T15:13:00.000-05:002007-08-13T15:13:00.000-05:00I only know about Texas Justice from Simpson Carto...I only know about Texas Justice from Simpson Cartoon Jokes, but came first hand to it due to the National Publicity on Kenneth Foster. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for your Blog and your commentary on this ridiculous use of capital punishment in this case.<BR/><BR/>Barney Moran<BR/>Editor, Grateful Web<BR/>gratefulweb.typepad.comGrateful Webhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02275867371701390826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-30894909573334645222007-08-13T06:28:00.000-05:002007-08-13T06:28:00.000-05:00Awww I'm so happy you posted this Scott you are so...Awww I'm so happy you posted this Scott you are so awesome! <BR/><BR/>Bless you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-79208862959980499732007-08-11T07:23:00.000-05:002007-08-11T07:23:00.000-05:00I am very happy to read this.

I think everyone agrees that Kenneth should not be executed, since he never left the car, never touched the gun, and is not a mind reader.<BR/><BR/>If he is executed it will make me wonder who else was executed unjustly. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for publishing this.<BR/>DeeThe Abolishment Movementhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03638570735817934522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-71732707508171016072007-08-11T00:45:00.000-05:002007-08-11T00:45:00.000-05:00Good to see you being vocal about this Scott.

I'm a case-by-case pro, but there is no way someone should be put to death, not only for NOT killing someone, but also for not PREVENTING another person from killing someone. If you are going to follow those lines in TX then you should start with the top dogs in TDCJ.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8597101.post-34468408979890012222007-08-10T22:42:00.000-05:002007-08-10T22:42:00.000-05:00What do I require of you, o Man, but to seek justi...What do I require of you, o Man, but to seek justice, love mercifully, and to walk humbly with your God?
