...or you could just, you know, not commit murder.
True enough...but Texas's justice system,like every other one that's ever existed,is imperfect.It's naive not to believe that a small percentage of people convicted in this country *are*,in fact,not guilty.In fact I think it's likely that a small percentage (very probably less than 1%) of those executed in Texas recently were not guilty.So not committing a murder in Texas isn't,IMO,an absolute iron clad guarantee that you won't be *convicted* of murder there.
