CNN AC360 Oct 14, 2009: More on Rick Perry's Cover Up in Todd Willingham Case

[agreatkentuckywriter]

Motive for a crime is like Criminal Laws 101. Perry, the "defense" attorney, nobody has mentioned a motive. That is the very first thing that should be stated.

[agreatkentuckywriter]

I haven't heard one person mention a motive? His defense attorney and Perry keep saying that he set the fire even though 9 arson experts say the fire was not deliberately set but they give no reason for WHY he set the fire. And the clip in one of the other videos about this case shows Willingham sitting on the back of an ambulance after the fire and he looks like someone who is grieving over this. He doesn't look like some "monster", as Perry called him, who has no feelings for his daughters.

TEXAS won't let this recent story of my son get into the public. They are that corrupt.

plz pass my story to one other person... please

[my74junker]

Texas needs a new form of government.....Anarchy........­... and the first person that should be executed under said government is Rick Perry. I hope someone from the Department of Justice is investigating this idiotic neo nazi holier than thou piece of murderous shit.......................

[Larrymolek1]

Craig Beyler is my new hero. Seems the man has more sense than all the politicians in Texas combined. Standard operating procedure my ass. And to think he got re-elected.......

[JimZ885]

Bill White is an evil, geriatric, drooling, baby headed, loon that has a love affair with the illegal alien cop killers, child rapists, home burglars, and intoxicated manslaughterers across Texas. And he's from that beanhole h e l l, San Antonio, so he wants to overrun Texas with as many Mexicans as possible. If this isn't what you want from your Texas Governor I'd suggest you VOTE RICK PERRY FOR TEXAS GOVERNOR TODAY!

10/05/10 - CNN reports today that a judge to review conviction in Texas arson-murder case however Rick Perry the gov issued statement that His then-wife has told reporters that he admitted his guilt to her while on death row. Also his conviction was reviewed & upheld by multiple levels of Texas state courts and 9 Federal courts including four times by the U.S. Supreme Court.

I hope with all of my being that the truth comes out and if found innocent they prosecute without restraint.

what would you say if those were your babies that were burned alive? Would you still want to protect the person who killed them ? THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN POLITICAL PROPAGANDA FOR THE ANTI-DEATH PENALTY ACTIVIST ! Our country is not going to kill an innocent man on purpose. This went before the Supreme Court four times . Not every one is corrupt.

[chorusxtwo]

You are missing the point. It doesn't matter if it's on purpose or on accident, it should have never happened.

[MeltingPopsicleMusic]

"what would you say if those were your babies that were burned alive? Would you still want to protect the person who killed them ?"

No, but I wouldn't want someone innocent to take the fall for it just so I can feel better about myself. It doesn't matter if it went before the supreme court four times if the evidence is faulty... If they would have let it go before court again with these new reports, the verdict might have come out different.

"THIS IS NOTHING MORE THAN POLITICAL PROPAGANDA FOR THE ANTI-DEATH PENALTY ACTIVIST"

Wrong, this isn't propaganda, the latest forensic report PROVES that the so-called "evidenced" used to convict Willingham was, in fact, junk science.

"Our country is not going to kill an innocent man on purpose."

Considering how unfairly applied the death penalty is, I wouldn't put it past them to knowingly and maliciously kill an innocent man.

[dragonguardians]

cover up he should have stopped the exicution till all the facts were proven or disproven if he had done this then it would have made him to look like he valued truth but no what did he do when he was sent files 80 minutes before they killed that man and he didnt do squat now its coming back to bite him on the ass and yes i believe he is covering it up

[MrRafael4116]

How is it a fair fight between a man and a women? How pathetic is this mother in law?

[MrRafael4116]

And how is it that this DR BEYER isn't biased by any political agenda when he himself went on this so stupid program and accused the governor of inpropriety. How hypocritical and pathetic are theses people?

[MrRafael4116]

This is nothing more trying to smear a political candidate for something which is unproven. What better way to smear a candidate for governor about a cover-up than right before an election. Hoe conveniently coincident!!1

[bm4844]

This is misleading.

They say that the evidence is bad ONLY because of new technologies which weren't available in 1991 prove it so. That's not really true.

The investigators who reviewed the evidence say that EVEN WITH THE TECHNOLOGY AVAILABLE IN 1991 no competent arson investigator could have concluded this was arson.

It's good that this story is getting attention, but the problem is incompetence at every level. Complete system failure from day one.

[gatorflight]

Shit will hit the fan now..

[patginsd]

What a travesty of Justice!

Obstruction of Justice is a heinous offense, especially in a capital judgement case.

There must be some way to get Perry removed from office.

[NWKBricks1]

It seems that Rick Perry thinks he is entitled to his own facts.
