Ellis asks for halt to executions from county, Chief of HPD agrees as both cite concerns over crime lab. This is big news from Harris County. I hope they follow through. Convictions that are not clean tarnish the entire system.
"I think it would be very prudent for us as a system, a criminal justice system, to delay further executions until we've had an opportunity to re-examine evidence that played a particular role in the conviction of an individual that was sentenced to death," [Houston Police Chief Harold] Hurtt said.
Left or right, pro- or anti-death penalty, you can't allow executions based on faulty evidence.
