18. Our hope is that this case keeps building
We can not let this get forgotten. This case needs as much focus as it can get nationally.

But first we have to prevent Perry from trying to bury the investigation. The guy he appointed to head the board is one of the "kill them all and let God sort them out later types." So what if he was innocent for this crime, he probably was guilty of something else. That's how these "tough on crime" types like Bradley are are. No regrets.

We have always believed that innocent men/women may have been executed by the State of Texas. This case is proof and this proof will hopefully be the end of the killing machine. Among the people who support the death penalty there is huge support for more accountability for a fair process. If people in Texas start to understand that the system does allow innocents to get executed the support for the death penalty would evaporate.

Scott Cobb is one of the strongest advocates of ending the death penalty in Texas. We have a lot of problems with the judicial system in Texas and in such a flawed systgem as we have, allowing the death penalty is like playing Russian roulette with a loaded gun.

Scott's organization is the Texas Moratorium Network

We have a lot more links on the Texas thread for this topic too
