Innocence Project: Overhaul death penalty laws

With all the new technology today, no old case should be denied to have DNA evidence reviewed. Create a separate lab for it, so retesting won't clog up the current cases. The retest would only prove that the defendant is correctly guilty or else the DNA does not match and questions need to be asked. Certainly in death penalty cases, any possible new evidence should be looked at. So, who does the hair belong to? Probably Cheney.... haha

While in some cases DNA testing may lead to a suspect, it should not be a deciding factor. DNA evidence is to easily fabricated. Take for instance , if a person is ever in a house, hotel etc, their DNA is left behind. It has been found many times that DNA is planted to falsly convict a person. Many people do not realize that there are those of us that have many of the same DNA markers as others.

I think we can all agree that the bottom line is that there is no excuse for not performing DNA tests on evidence. Ever.

Abortion on demand but NO death penalty.

Get back to me when you have your priorities straight.

texASS needs to kill people for jaysus, like all good republicans.

typical of Bush and criminal of him...what's new?

He received the death penalty - I'm thinking they had a little more evidence than one single hair! Just another bash against Bush!!! Give it a rest and look at what you all elected into office (I sure as hell did not vote for Obama))...

I'm from Texas and we don't care. This loser probably did SOMETHING wrong, even if it isn't the crime he was executed for. To hell with him. Send him on and let God figger it out.

Um, why did the Yaw-Who Gawds wipe off all of the posters' names?

I find it extremely doubltful this man was put to death, with the only evidence being ONE single strand of hair.
