Can I ask a Question half in jest? Texas does execute killers, At each of these executions there are always some idiots out there with candles holding death watches .
I wonder if Texas has ever given a thought to putting up a motel close to the prison for these people to stay, and maybe a diner . There could be some good money in this. How about a vendors license to sell T- Shirts with the Executees picture , some candles and maybe those sparkler things they sell at the circus.

A typical Texas execution is attended by a handful of protesters. But when the prisoner's innocence is at issue, as was the case during the January 22 execution of Gary Graham, the crowds can be intense. Flag-burning was one of the ways people expressed their anger. The case focused the nation's attention on the issues of bad lawyering, the reliability of eyewitness testimony and prosecutors' aggressive pursuit of the death penalty in borderline cases. Condemned for the robbery-murder of Bobby Lambert in a Houston supermarket parking lot in 1981, largely on the identification of a lone eyewitness to the crime, Graham died proclaiming he was the wrong man. |
