Comment on Upcoming Scheduled Executions in Texas by Janet Hagen

Janet Hagen — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 08:46:04 +0000

Please abolish execution, how do you sleep at night? I dont get how any state can execute, coming from N.Ireland that has had many terrorist attacks and many murders committed I still do not believe in execution, no one should be executed no matter how inhumane their crime was two wrongs dont make it right!! Does one not feel guilt about possible innocent victims also????? From childhood and I am now 40 I remember watching the news when a British man was appealing for a reprieve and the British government had also become involved I remember going to bed knowing I’ll know the result in the morning keep my fingers crossed and this man will maybe be saved from execution but no he wasn’t …….I was gutted…….its wrong so im begging please stop!!!

I attended ALL of the trials concerning this case.
I am a relative of one of the victims. I am 74 years old and would like to see the truth about the torture and death of those young people. If there is an innocent man spending time in prison for a crime he did not commit, he should be released. I urge you to continue the probe into this crime. I WANT TO KNOW THE TRUTH !!

I attended all the Lake Waco Murder trials and the Hearing in Waco last Friday. I urge everyone to push for a conclusion to this case and help Tony Melendez who has now been unjustly incarcerated for THIRTY years. I saw the cases unfold and fought then to no avail as many things made simply “no sense” to me but I could not prevail against the prosecutors and Sheriff’s deputy involved.
“Mistaken Identity” was their “take” on the crime, yet the girls looked nothing alike. This tactic was conveniently dropped when Spence was tried the second time as it was and is ridiculous.
This could well be the first proven case of Innocence proven by DNA post mortem.
