It's better to let a guilty man go free than convict an innocent man to a serious crime.

[Goddess167989]

Poor people who are wrongly convicted...basterd prosecutors...all they care about is their own reputation, the more people they can convict (guilty or not) the better for them. They always take advantage of people who are poor, young, and naive to the fine print of law. Jerks...

andy richter???

[danakscully64]

Does anyone know where the wife stood during the trial, conviction, and time in jail before execution? Did she believe he killed their children? She wasn't mentioned. 

[anchondohailey]

the main reason i dont belive in the death penalty is because i know innocent people get convicted all the time.

[juhart30]

Living in Iran, of course you're guilty..

[IceXMan87]

I don't look at a man and see black, white, yellow, or brown. I look at a man and see just that, a man. I judge him not by his race, his religion, his sexual orientation, or by his bank account, for I deny any impulse or instinct to judge anyone. This world is divided by those with power and those without it. But true power rests in the hands of the majority, the poor, we have strength in numbers.

why would he kill his children?

[MARVIA35]

(cont.) it'll be a VERY small price to pay if innocent men and woman like todd have to continuously die. can only imagine the number of people who died back when forensic science wasnt as it is today. if we're sending the innocent to death row now w/ our modern science, can u imagine then?

[MARVIA35]

omg!! damn, sooo sad. my heart goes out to Todd and the entire willingham family. so damn tragic. im for the DP also, as long as its conclusively proven the persons guilty. i bet the authorities involved arent losing any sleep and r stubbornly in denial about it because if admitted to self and public, ALL past, present and future cases as well as their judgement and ability as public servants to effectively identify/interpret evidence or guilt/innocence will b called n 2 question.it(cont.)

ya =/

its shitty deals. it's because of now old parents spreading bullshit racist ideals into their children's heads.

I'd say give it 30-40 years when all of the baby boomers and war veterans are maggot food, and our generation starts having kids, racism will start to dicipate alot.
