Is there any way to write about the wrongful imprisonment of Michael Morton thanks to prosecutorial misconduct that doesn't result in us throwing our computer across the room by the end of the first sentence? Not really. Let's start at the end of the story, which is normally not a very good place to start, but there's a lot to yell about here. Ken Anderson is a fine specimen of awful that was
Happy may not be so happy about the idea of getting fixed- it does tend to make websites more docile, but they also tend to put on weight. On the plus side, Happy will be far less likely to lift its leg and mark on the side of Wonkville
I'm always struck by conservative/Republican affection for tough law enforcement and the death penalty with their avowed distaste for government power. The death penalty, after all, gives the government the legal right to kill its own citizens which is a lot of power.
The same hypocritical dynamic shows up in abortion, wanting government-run prayer in schools, torture and so forth.
The argument they would make, I think, is that a moral or safety imperative supersedes limiting government power. But hunger in a land of plenty is (to me) immoral. Someone dead from a treatable disease is just as dead as from a murderer or terrorist.
Here's a nice little tidbit: Texas used to have a local grassroots project similar to the Innocence Project, but it was funded by one generous and committed donor.
Man, I wish I lived in Anderson's town, just so that I could publicly confront this dick and denounce him to his face every stinking day for the rest of his worthless life.

No Saturday stories? Not even by Kid Zoom?
At least the guy lost his judgeship, his law license, was fined $500, and has to do some community service.
WAIT! That doesn't make up for doing a quarter in the grey rock hotel!
if only we had a comments section
Well, google thinks we have a malware section, so there's that.
A good way to protect yourself is to keep your ass the hell away from Texas, period. This has been a service of the Texas Tourism Board.
Good way to get sued for harassment.

I suppose there&#039;s slim consolation in the fact that he may have died of old age by now. It&#039;s been 25 years, after all.
if jesus were here, he would be the innocence project.
I believe you&#039;re correct. My mind has become more of a sieve lately and I retain an outrage without remembering the proper reason for it.

Whose money was all invested by Bernie Madoff.
