Bite your tongue, Haqi. I am neither "you people" nor a "rabid dog."

As for "all you other people," I was not thinking of Graham, specifically. I was more impressed by the case of another man, whose name I cannot recall at the moment. (I read about him in an article in Rolling Stone, which my son thoughtfully placed in the bathroom, but which has since disappeared from there.) The sole witness, in this case, was the man who may have actually committed the murder. If you are at all interested, I will find the article tomorrow.

The point remains: Texas WILL convict on the basis of a single witness. And in a state where capital punishment is so popular, the governor is unlikely to nudge his/her appointees on the Board of Paroles to recommend a stay of execution.
