"Henry W. Skinner can attest that sometimes not even a Supreme Court victory" can grant him judicial fairness in Texas.Even though Texas law SB 122 "make(s) it easier for inmates to secure DNA testing....no judge has yet ruled on Mr. Skinner's requests." Instead, "the state took the extraordinary step of rescheduling his execution for Nov. 9."
In Texas and other states, innocence isn't enough to assure justice, even on matters of life and death. Skinner's now hangs in the balance with little time left to save him.
