Ummm.. Excuse me, all austbounty did was give us a link to look at the author's work. He didn't publish or reprint or rip it off in any way.
The story is very interesting. They should throw the book at this swaggering lawman wanna be. he;s obviously way outta control.

meadowlark,..You are excused..What I said was a friendly heads up,as austbounty does cut-n-paste from his urls.
We can take care of our problems. You should do the same. Fix your country before you vilify ours.
Your insults and commie rhetoric is getting extremely boring. Your cut and paste intelligence is tripe.
In other words..... If you had an original idea of your own ... It would be lonely.
Amen,
The men with the nets are coming.

Colin...Amen
And what Austi failed to research is that most all of those cases have been overturned & those accused have been released from prison.

Ah, yes, it's all alright then.
People are dragged out of their houses in the middle of the night and from their cars on dusty roadsides, "cuffed and stuffed," cavity-searched, shuffled into court in leg irons, publicly shamed in front of the residents of their small town, branded scum by the local newspapers.
They lose their jobs, vehicles and homes - maybe even their family - while sitting in jail.
They have a bull-necked corrections officer tell them where they can walk, when they can shower and what they can read. They watch people that look just like them be sent to jail for the rest of their life based on the sole testimony of a man that's a proven liar.
But the convictions have been overturned, and they can go about their business now. So everything's OK.

Can you find one case of someone ending up in a "deluxe apartment" after being wrongfully convicted? I doubt it. Because states have laws that exempt themselves from civil liability in the case of wrongful convictions, no matter how much lying and cheating is done by police officers to obtain them.*
Texas finally passed a law that allows for up to $25,000 per year spent in prison (does not include pre-trial period) for wrongful convictions, but it won't apply to people convicted before 2001, so the Tulia folks are out of luck.
*I do not hate or distrust police officers as a group. Most of them are good folks. But the consequences of one bad apple can be extreme.

If he really hurt that many people that bad I find it hard to believe that one of them has not hunted him down and killed him.

colin "Fix your country before you vilify ours."
You should direct that to PNAC.
America is the country which reapeatedly & shamelesly imposes it's will.
You are not god's nation or people.
Your sence of humanity and justice are diminishing.
