    The Willingham Case, Rick Perry and the Death Penalty in Texas

    With Governor Rick Perry throwing his proverbial hat into the race for Republican presidential nominee, Texas has been thrust into the national spotlight.  I wish I could say the country is learning favorably about the Lone Star State; as a native Texan it’s a dear place to me.  However, what the nation has been reading about–from local papers such as the Austin Chronicle to national and international publications like the More …
