One Governor, 250 Executions: Rick Perry's Texas
21.10.12
One Governor, 250 Executions: Rick Perry's Texas: [blog.amnestyusa.org] This month, the number of executions under Texas Governor Rick Perry is set to hit 250 — more than twice as many as in any other state since the U.S. death penalty was reinstated in 1976. Anthony Haynes and Bobby Hines would be the 249th and 250th Texas prisoners put to death under Gov. Perry, and are set to be executed October 18 and 24 respectively.
250 is a lot of executions. But even a small sample of the state killings under Rick Perry highlights (or lowlights) the depth and variety of serious problems with capital punishment in Texas. The large number of executions merely illustrates how little Texas leaders care about these problems.
Here are just eight of the more egregious, but also representative, examples from Rick Perry’s death penalty legacy.
