From Bush's State of the Union address:
[quote]In America we must make doubly sure no person is held to account for a crime he or she did not commit, so we are dramatically expanding the use of DNA evidence to prevent wrongful conviction.
Soon I will send to Congress a proposal to fund special training for defense counsel in capital cases, because people on trial for their lives must have competent lawyers by their side.[/quote]
Agree 100%. Isn't this the same guy that proudly executed more people than anyone else as governor of Texas and never granted a single request for a stay of execution based upon ineffective assistance of counsel (or otherwise)?
Glad to see the about face, but I'm a bit skeptical...
