Kinky Friedman on Todd Willingham: "You know what you call it when an innocent person is executed? Murder."

Rick Perry’s reign of incompetence continues.

This time Perry is embarking on an immoral cover-up of epic proportions.
Perry fired respected members of the Forensic Science Commission to derail
their planned hearing to publicly investigate the execution of a Texan in
2004, that many legal experts, feel was innocent.

Apparently Rick Perry is afraid of shining the public light of independent
investigation on the execution of Cameron Todd Willingham.

Don’t take my word for it–here is what some of the most
respected publications in Texas said:

The Houston Chronicle compared him to Richard Nixon’s handling of Watergate.

Texas Monthly’s Paul Burka called Perry’s action “The Cover Up”.
(http://www.texasmonthly.com/blogs/burkablog/?p=4890)

And the Texas Observer called it a “stunner” and an “exercise of raw power
is truly stunning to behold”.

You know what you call it when an innocent person is executed? Murder.

As your next Governor, I’ll give the power back to the people of Texas.
We’ll establish the Timothy Cole Commission to ensure that no more innocent
people are murdered by Rick Perry’s administration.
