12:00 AM CST on Tuesday, November 14, 2006

By ROBERT THARP / The Dallas Morning News

A state appeals court delayed a Dallas man's impending execution late
Monday after a witness from his 1998 capital murder trial recanted
his testimony and said a prosecutor had pressured and intimidated him
before the trial.

At last I say: Thank-you!

God Bless Mom and Dad

For now I’m with Jesus

There’s no need to be sad God Bless

I love you all

Excerpt from the debate:

Jeff Coriell: Are you satisfied with the Administration of capital
punishment in this state? If not, how will you as Attorney General fix it?
And will you commit to us today that if, as Attorney General, you determine
that the death penalty is not being applied fairly or justly, that you will
call for a moratorium on the enforcement of the death penalty?.. I think
Marc should go first.

Tony Blair declared that he was opposed to the death penalty for Saddam Hussein. But the Prime Minister stressed that the former Iraqi dictator's trial proved why the US-led invasion had been worthwhile overall.

A tetchy Mr Blair initially refused to comment directly on sentencing of Saddam by an Iraqi tribunal into his crimes against humanity. Yet after repeated clashes with reporters at his monthly Downing Street press briefing, he said: "We are against he death penalty, whether it is for Saddam or anyone else."
