Ms. K-
Good morning, I know I’ll never change your mind concerning the legality and appropriatness of the death penalty. HOWEVER, I think it is insulting to the victims of CONVICTED John Allen Muhammed to use the word “alleged sniper”. He is no longer an “alleged sniper”.

Also in Texas, just 2 days ago, Robert Springsteen was exonerated from death row, becoming the 139th person to be exonerated from death row since 1973. But I’m afraid that Texas is about to kill Khristian Oliver in almost one week, and Virginia will kill alleged sniper John Allen Muhammad in almost two weeks, both for murders in spite of unfair trials!

I agree with you, Brian Evans, 100%! Perry acts more like a cruel dictator than a governor and spews baseless insults against those on death row whether innocent or not, especially executed innocent people like Cameron Willingham.
