if you're in florida...or texas... you may think that your governor is pretty bad on the death penalty and for the most part you'd be pretty right on...but consider that tennessee had just it's second execution in 46 years ~ 2 weeks ago - in a case where dna testing was fought by the state and sedley alley was executed with uncertainty clouding the circus to the very end...
governor bredesen issued a 15 day reprieve on may 16th stopping the execution over the dna testing issue - but he did not order the testing, he gave the attorneys one last shot to get the courts to order the evidence released for testing ...
even jeb bush and his lil' brother (while governor of texas) took that wimpy lil' step ...
in spite of the best efforts of barry scheck and the innocence project no testing was ever done...
you can read our governor's thoughts on his role by clicking here ... but i warn you, if you have trouble with spinelessness tread carefully!!!
