Texas governor: Executed inmate was 'a monster'
AP | Posted 10.14.2009 | Home
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas' governor says a man put to death in 2004 for killing his children was "a monster," and suggestions he may have been innocent are anti-death penalty propaganda.
Gov. Rick Perry pointed out Wednesday that Cameron Todd Willingham's murder convictions were upheld several times before his 2004 execution.
Forensic scientists have called into question arson evidence used to convict Willingham, who maintained his innocence until his death.
Perry says recent news reports have glossed over evidence that shows Willingham killed his children.
The governor has been criticized for replacing members of the Texas Forensic Science Commission just before they were to review a new report critical of the arson science used to convict Willingham.

3 killed when Guard Humvee crashes on Tex. highway
AP | Posted 11.23.2009 | Home
A National Guard Humvee went airborne on a Texas interstate Wednesday and vaulted into an oncoming lane, triggering a six-vehicle crash that killed a soldier and two other drivers, authorities said.
Texas National Guard spokesman Col. Bill Meehan declined to say where the soldier, who was driving the Humvee, was stationed or where she was going at the time of the crash. The drivers of an 18-wheeler and a car also were killed, authorities said.
"Our thoughts and prayers do go out with the soldier's family and those of the other people involved in the accident," Meehan said.
The Humvee was traveling southbound in the rain on Interstate 35 in the small town of Troy about 11 a.m. when it went airborne, cleared the center barrier and slammed into the oncoming car and 18-wheeler, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety.
The rig then crashed into a truck towing a trailer, then into a garbage truck.
