I have no problem with Dubya not stopping her execution....it wasn't his call,IMO....
As Governor at the time, Bush could have stayed the execution.
My understanding is the Governor of Texas can only stay an execution for 30 days at most, if there is reasonable doubt. I'm not a lawyer or an expert on the Texas Constitution, but that is the length of my understanding.
Meek, am I right or wrong?
Blessings.

I'm pretty sure that is right, a temporary stay only. Thirty days sounds right. I think Perry did that on one last year when they found out from one in the queue that he had information on some OTHER murders. He stayed it so they could get that information to clean up some old cases. His information was good and it gave some victims families closure on their relatives death. They put him back on the list and he was sent on to meet his maker ...
