In Texas, they shoot first and ask questions later. The possibility of executing an innocent person is not a reason to call off the execution. "Most reasonable people would be highly disturbed to have the execution of a possibly innocent man on their conscience or their record. But this is Texas we're talking about, a state that prefers to shoot first and ask no questions at all. The fact that the accused might be innocent is not considered sufficient reason to call off his execution. . (One of the most demoralizing developments of the past couple of years is the fact that George W. Bush has been striving so hard to make all of the United States more like Texas.)"
