I suppose it’s no real secret about my feelings regarding the rapidity of the use of the death penalty in this state, as well as the questions surrounding the Todd Willingham case. But I find it disappointing and disconcerting that a few simple questions by the Dallas Morning News’ Rodger Jones were dismissed by John Bradley, who heads the Texas Forensic Science Commission.
Jones details in the DMN’s Death Penalty blog the list of questions he submitted, which to me are a chance for Bradley to clear the air and answer some of his critics. Instead, he dismisses Jones as sounding like a New York lawyer, and refuses to answer the questions.
Are the questions really that  hard?
