I wish there was SOMETHING that could be done posthumously to Henry Wade |
|
I WONDER how many more innocent (Black) people are going to be found sitting in prison because of his overt racism? I have been reading Molly Ivins and I just came across this little nugget and for the life of me, I did NOT know this. Make no mistake, I am ANTI-death penalty, however, this just reeks. (written in 1989)
"For many years, the city (Dallas) was proud of its zealous law 'n order prosecutor, Henry Wade, a man who get Dallas juries to sentence people to 5,000 years in prison. But in the last seven years of his reign, Wade, who could get death sentences any time he asked for one, NEVER sought a death sentence in ANY of the FIFTY-SIX capital-murder cases in which the victim was black. Not one."
I hope Wade is burning in eternal Hell...but I for one would like to know if his family received ANY compensation from Dallas County upon his retirement or his death? If so, they should pay it back. The evil that this man did should be classified as a War Crime (Class/Race War) and his relatives should have to pay back the ill-gotten proceeds. I guess we should expect NOTHING less from the asshole who brought us Roe v. Wade.

and Karma in his case will be experiencing the lives of every one of his victims.
