Bush Calls for Death Penalty Lawyer Training
I realize this is a slow response to the State of the Union, (two days after is slow, right?) but I think this is necessary to post.
"People on trial for their lives must have competent lawyers by their side," Bush said in his State of the Union address Wednesday. As governor of Texas, a state that executes more inmates than any other, Bush commuted one death sentence but allowed 152 executions.
Here's Rob Warden's response (Warden is executive director of Northwestern University's Center on Wrongful Convictions):
"Even referring to wrongful convictions is rather amazing. He had every opportunity to deal with this issue as governor of Texas. He failed to do so."

Why is it that our president is so hooked on killing people? Murder,The unlawful killing of one human by another, especially with premeditated malice(hatred). this is the dictionary defention. i belive Murder should be wrote the killing of another human being on purpose, with malice. I know I do not want a murder for a president. How many more years are we stuck with him?
