>He just doesn't want to be the one who let an innocent man be executed. Instead of halting the execution when he had a chance he decided to prove that he is "tough on crime" so he could gather a few more votes. And speaking of votes - that another reason this commission and investigation has been screwed up by this half-witted twerp - he's afraid of the political fallout of having an innocent man killed on his watch. I just hope the media stays on top of this and it doesn't been brushed aside and forgotten (which is of course what Perry is hoping happens).

I know exactly what you mean. I just kind of thought he might have come up with something a little more meaningful (at least from his supposed perspective) than "it's normal". Even if it is normal, there still should be a reason. Baseball trades are normal too, but no manager trades a player without having a reason beyond "it's normal".
