Even in Texas they are having their doubts.When it comes to the death penalty, the short quote above speaks volumes. That's because half of all executions in the United States take place in Texas, where "once rock-solid faith in capital punishment [is being] shaken by overturned convictions, judicial scandals and growing evidence that at least one innocent man has been executed."
Is this another domino about to fall? Even as the Supreme Court considers juvenile LWOP, as described in IntLawGrrls posts above and here, will Texas get in line both with the trend depicted in the graph and the event on which we've also posted, the American Law Institute consensus against "the current system of capital punishment in America"?
