In Bush's two terms as Texas governor, he signed death warrants for an
incredible 152 out of 153 executions against convicted murderers, the
majority of whom only killed one single person. The only death
sentence Bush commuted was for one of the many murders that mass
murderer Henry Lucas had been convicted of. Bush was informed that
Lucas had falsely confessed to this particular murder and was
innocent, his conviction being improper. So in 152 out of 152 cases,
Bush refused to show mercy even once, finding that not one of the 152
convicted killers should receive life imprisonment instead of the
death penalty. Bush's perfect 100 percent execution rate is highly
uncommon even for the most conservative law-and-order governors.

With DNA evidence acquitting more people all the time, isn't it a safe
bet to believe that at least one of the men condemned to die by then
Governor Bush was totally innocent? Especially as many on death row
pleaded their innocence to the very end.

If so, then Bush sent an innocent man to his death. I'll bet it wasn't
the first time.
