Death row inmate entitled to delay for DNA tests

   With honor and respect to the Editor Board of the Austin American Statesman for keeping we inform on  Death row inmate entitled to delay for DNA tests. I do understand the weight of this situation but as human beings we should be sure that if we are going to end life that we have the person who actually committed the crime. Let's be honest what good is it to come back afterward and say "opps your son didn't do it but he is already dead anyway". There is no harm in being sure that we are person who committed the crime. Being that Gov. Ricky Perry has already had to face a family to say we convicted the wrong man you would think he wouldn't want to face such a situation again. Nothing is perfect, especially when it comes to a trail and evidence. Are we really in such a rush to kill? The crime was a horrible travesty but it was committed by someone other than ourselves, but what if we kill this man without giving him the option for DNA test and we are wrong? Can we live with that choice? We should honor this request for Skinner to receive the necessary DNA tests to either clear or convict of death. We must be sure in our decisions because we can't take this one back.
