Well, he wasn’t actually sentenced to death until 1987. 35 years is still way, way too long.

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...

His lawyers last defense on appeal was that killing him would be cruel because he had a degenerative genetic condition that would make it painful for him to lay on the gurney. Judge didn’t buy it and I say no problem——just strap him to a post. Either way, he’s gone.

Because stupid, brain-washed voters are duped and/or bought by politicians who have only one thing in mind: How to stay in office and by doing so getting wealthy at taxpayers expense.

Because liberals wrote laws reflecting more concern for the human filth monsters than for the victims or society. Three years max in the future.
