It’s bad enough when ‘experts’ chime in on an arson case with blah-blah antiquated opinions.  But then to have the prosecutor promise (and deliver) a lighter sentence to a jail house informant–and through another man keep paying the false informer?  fantastic?  The stuff of movies?  Unfortunately, it is the stuff of an execution, probably a botched job from the beginning.  Texas Gov. Rick Perry continues to stand by the decision and his impression of the man’s guilt.  (Same R Perry who won’t sign the federal PREA against prison rape because he is unsure of the details in it.)
