RICK PERRY AND DEATH


Rick Perry’s smugness when answering the question about whether he lost any sleep over the executions he has authorized shows me this man is not fit to be President or even dog catcher. Any rational person would or should agonize a little that he possibly put an innocent person to death. People like him and the people who applaud him never take into consideration that maybe one of those people might be one of their relatives.  There are so many of the so-called guilty that have been proven innocent in the last few years.  How can you be so smug and say all of those people were definitely guilty.  I for one am not completely against the death penalty.  Still if I was the Governor of any state I would want to make sure as much as possible that there was no question about the person’s guilt.  Anyone that has been involved with or taken part in any criminal trials should know there is so much that is not exactly on the up and up.  All prosecutors are not honest they have the win at all costs mentality.  Many of the so-called experts will say anything to make a buck, and some of them have been found to be fabricating evidence even in death penalty cases. Eye-witness evidence is proven not to be all that reliable.  Rick Perry and people who have the power should agonize a little; it shouldn’t be easy to put someone to death.
