TRIAL BY FIRE The New Yorker has a great article on why the death penalty should be abolished, told through the story of a Texas man convicted of murdering his children. It’s a true tale that made me more sad/angry than anything I’ve read in a long time, and almost makes me ashamed to be living in the same state where it took place. Spoiler alert: Texas very well could become “the first state to acknowledge officially that, since the advent of the modern judicial system, it had carried out the execution of a legally and factually innocent person.”
