The Cellar - View Single Post - Man railroaded in murder rap must pay back child support for his 9 years on death row

Sovereign immunity won't apply if he proves a conspiracy to violate his civil rights in a Federal court.

And the law says he's liable for support for his children ...the fact that agents of the state of Texas have been fucking him over is simply not germaine to that liability. The state only gets involved in child support when there's a dispute and one or both parties ask the courts to resolve the issue.

And yes, I think the issue of supporting his childrem *should* be on his mind on death row...in fact probably *more* so since he presumably thought he was going to be executed at some point. Death row is a continuing sequence of appeals, motions, wrts and other filings and court appearances. One more wouldn't have been that big a deal.
