We are in favor of death penalty. This case though, the man was in prison for a murder he didn’t commit. He got out of prison after 25 years, but only after losing everything. His wife, his son, his everything. Thankful he wasn’t executed. Williamson County Texas is notorious for wrongful convictions. Michael Morton was in prison for 25 years and was innocent.

And another Williamson county wrongful conviction...

On April 12, 1985, a hiker found a small human skull in the Sonoran Desert near Tucson, about 20 miles from where the bike had been found. The skeleton had been scattered by animals.

Due to the state of the remains, the cause of death could not be determined, nor whether the child had been sexually abused. Dental records confirmed they were Vicki's remains.

With the advent of DNA I'll bet that there are far fewer wrongful convictions...particularly in cased involving serious charges. I'd prefer to see 99 truly guilty murderers to be executed along with one who didn't deserve it than to see those 99 avoid execution.

I'm willing to live with an imperfect justice system...because the only alternative is *no* justice system.
