First heard of this book thru a post on Facebook. What a travesty of justice; TX did it again! Murdered a wonderful man with great potential because he was poor and black. Reminds me so much of a PP I have that I just want to scream/cry/something!

A saint...Hmmmm...
I wonder if that is any comfort to the family of the man green murdered?
For those who do not know The victims family supported commutation of his sentence . The TX BPP and Gov Rick Perry declined their wishes . It is much harder to forgive than it is to seek revenge and kill to get it . It is unfortunate more cannot find some measure of forgiveness in them for petty things years ago and certainly far less than a murder .
Even on Death Row redemption is possible. While not common it does happen .
Then those who revel and take morbid pleasure in a persons execution . Their words and them are Nada .
Well, of course people can change on death row. There are not that many opprotunities to get into trouble...
All they have to do is close the bean chute for a few days and feed them food loaf.
If you read, The family believed in his innocence.

You can't be serious with this one? Elric, have you been writing your penpal long? I only ask because mine is in supermax, which is about as secure as DR and if he chose to, there is PLENTY he could do to get into trouble. Surely your penpal has told you about things they could do, if they chose to...that would definitely get them into trouble, as you put it?

In this case I doubt that any thing any one can say or do up to showing irrefutable evidence that a person on Death Row is innocent .
Some also forget that the punishment is not torture . Until it is them who is facing prison or death at the hands of the state . Then they will scream the loudest .
Trying to talk to them and explain anything in reasonable manner is impossible . For some ignorance is a bliss. This shows when they do not know what they are talking about.
Yes it is possible for people on Death Row to change . Some do some don't some descend in to madness some become entirely differnt people Karla Faye Tucker is one such example of a woman who committed a brutal crime to one of the most respected and liked prisoners in TDCJ .
By all accounts her transformation was not an act whatsoever .
With out allowing for redemption we become worse than those we wish dead .
There is nothing humorous about this thread .
it doesn't happen often, but peanut I absolutely agree with you.
