time a prisoner is executed, said Rich
Woodward, chair of the local chapter of
TCApP.
Four main controversial issues surround
ing the'’death penalty in Texas are fairness,
innocence, cost and effectiveness,
Woodward said. Income plays a large role
regarding the fairness of the death penalty.
Woodward said.
“If you have the capital, you don’t get the
punishment,” he said.
When a case is sent through the appeal
process, the case is more likely to get lost,
postponing one’s chance of escaping execu
tion, Woodward said.
Since 1976, 220 death row inmates in the
United States have been grunted general
clemency due to doubts about the defen
dant’s guilt or conclusions of by the gover
nor regarding the death penalty process, he
said.
