The governor sounds like a real asshole - "The world court has no standing in Texas."

Is there any chance you might offer some more information regarding the circumstances surrounding the charges against this woman? What was the nature of the crime she has been convicted of? The article offers very little to go on regarding that, other than she was tried and convicted and sentenced for the ''murder of a young mother".

If you google 'Linda Carty' you'll get more info.
That her court-appointed attorney has seen 20 of his clients end up on death row (a record), didn't meet with her until the day before her trial, and did a piss poor job defending her should be reason enough to halt the execution.
Texas has executed four times the number of people than the rest of the USA combined since capital punishment was reinstated. The majority of the people of that state obviously have a thirst for vengeance... and if the accused is black, and the victim white, it's almost guaranteed that the death penalty will be applied.
Texas is the asshole of the world.

The very fact the implementation of the death penalty exists as an answer to the revulsion of taking a life does not negate the revulsion of the taking of the life of the guilty (or not).
If somehow it does, then what exactly is it for?
Can't work both ways. It's retarded, wherever, whyever.
