Executions

Posted by brestonlaw on January 27th, 2012 under Houston capital crimes defense attorney  •  No Comments

I doubt the average American is aware that there is a website that offers up-to-the-date information about the status of recent, pending and future executions of convicted criminals who have been sentenced to death.

It is a death penalty information center that details the projected outcomes of these individuals. A quick perusal will show that there are some convicts who have been granted a stay of execution while others have requests before the court to have their sentence reconsidered. Finally, there is a list of those who have been executed as recently as last year.

The matter of executions is one of the most difficult that a defense attorney must face. Each time we assume the responsibility for representing a person accused of a capital crime we literally pour ourselves into the case. It’s personal - I can tell you that. If one thinks that there is a general disregard for the sanctity of life - nowhere is that more untrue than when legal professionals do battle to save the life of their client.

It is a complicated world. Just yesterday a man was awarded millions of dollars for false imprisonment. Yet, as I have pointed out on numerous occasions - there is simply NO AMOUNT of money that can be considered just compensation for lost years - and lost lives.
