A column of mine appeared in yesterday's Daily Texan, and concerns death penalty abolition. Go check it out. The comments are amusing as well.

I was also quoted on KLBJ radio here in Austin:

A small number of death penalty opponents didn’t let the stay of execution given to Jeff Wood stop them from protesting at the State Capitol. Matt Tedrow says there are still many issues surrounding the Wood case that need settling. "We’re not done here. We’re going to have to be back here…I don’t know when…in order to hopefully get him off death row permanently," he said.

Wood was the driver in a fatal convenience store robbery. He was convicted of capital murder under the law of parties, which makes an accomplice just as liable for a capital crime as the trigger-man. His death penalty stay, however, is not related to the arguments over that law. A federal judge yesterday delayed the execution so Wood's attorneys can hire a mental health expert to pursue their arguments that he is not competent to be executed.

 All I got for now.
