    I've been reading about this one. She's just been granted a stay of execution - but it seems a very clearcut case of a coerced confession where there is significant doubt as to the facts of the case. What the fuck is wrong with Texas?

    Defenders of this kind of ignominy - identify yourselves so that we may hurl abuse.

    Frankly, I'm surprised the stay was granted.

    Texas Republicans seem unable to get it up unless the state is murdering someone on their behalf.

    If there's anything Texans hate more than Mexicans, it's women. A Mexican woman doesn't stand a chance. :(

    I saw this on Last Week Tonight and it does seem pretty clear cut.
