DNA test shows Texas/Geo W. Bush probably executed an innocent man

That's funny. I thought this was going to be about a different, currently high-profile case in which Texas almost certainly executed the wrong man.

From a moral standpoint, I don't have a problem executing the guilty. Not in the slightest. But I'm against the death penalty, not only because it leaves room for horrendous errors like these, but because it ends up costing a bajillion times more than just locking them away for life with no chance for parole.
