Karla Tucker and George Bush
editThe statement that Bush signed the death warrant is factually incorrect. The Texas Code of Criminal Procedure states that only the trial judge, when it appears that all appeals have been exhausted, may set the date for an execution. And, it is the trial jury that actually recommends death as a punishment. The trial judge has the option of following the jury's recommendation or sentencing the defendant to life without parole. At the time (1984) life without parole was not an option in Texas, so the trial judge's option would be follow the jury's recommendation of death or sentence the defendant to 99 years with the posibility of parole.

Hypocrisy
editHow in the wikipedia world do I add another topic to this discussion page???? Anyway, just wanted to ask whether it would be appropriate to point out Bush's hypocrisy in commuting his buddy Lewis "Scooter" Libby's sentence while claiming his prison sentence was excessive. Bush has a double standard of justice - one for himself and his administration, and another for everyone else. With this POV you can see why I'm not writing the piece. marty8—The preceding unsigned comment was added by Marty8 (talk • contribs).
- You can add a new topic by clicking the "+" next to the edit button. As to the addition, you would need to have a cited reference from a reliable source in order to make that comment. And even then, it might run afoul of neutral point of view issues. However, a carefully phrased comment, precisely cited to a reliable source (and that source would have to make a direct comparison between Libby and Tucker) would probably be acceptable. --Eyrian 18:30, 3 July 2007 (UTC)

On second thought, the comparison with Bush's record of executions as governor (including KFT) probably belongs on the Scooter Libby page since it is a bit anachronistic to mention Libby on the Tucker page. (Marty8 14:32, 4 July 2007 (UTC))

Early Years and Murder
editThe Early Years and Murder section starts out fine, but about halfway through ceases to make sense... can anyone figure out what it's supposed to say?
