Pratt on Texas

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: Whether guilty or not, the cause celebre of the case of Robert Roberson’s ordered execution has gone off the rails. Media stories and advocate assertions so not tell the full story.
I cannot summarize 40 minutes of analysis here so listen to the show and you’ll hopefully get my point. Skepticism is required from all sides of an issue when trying to find the truth in a fallen world. Here are two of the stories I work from on the show:

• Texas Supreme Court halts Robert Roberson execution
• A Texas Board Rejects Clemency Plea From a Man Facing Execution in Shaken Baby Syndrome Case
• Justice Sotomayor unhappy with Texas court’s handling of Roberson’s death row case

Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.
