Zimmerman: Texas has executed people on less "known facts".

[edhopper]

Just saying.

[SoutherDem]

1. Sadly, too true

It seems the facts don't always matter any more.

2. Well, then again,

he is half Hispanic.

3. I think Zimmerman is probably guilty but I don't feel good about invoking the Texas justice system

as a way to handle anything. But you are spot on that Texas does this all the time, especially if they are black or hispanic.

4. wonder how many were by the Catholics' favorite "Compassionate Conservative" ...

you know, the one who (until recently) held the record for most number of Death Row inmates put to death on his watch, instead of making the sentence (which, actually, is far crueler) "life, no parole" ...

Oh, and he's the one who made sure that an accountant, instead of a doctor or a member of the family, can decide who stays on life support and who doesn't ... in Texas ... the originator of the "Death Panels" ...

5. If Zimmerman was black he would be on death row right now in any state. nt
