| In Memoriam - Edward Green - executed in Texas (1069 words) |
 | On October 5, 2004 the State of Texas executed Edward Green III for the August 31, 1992 murder of Edward Perry Haden and Helen O’Sullivan, who died from the same bullet in the course of a botched robbery. |
 | However, the jury in Green’s case was not informed that the alternative to the death sentence would be a 35-year minimum incarceration, meaning Green would have been almost 55 years old before his first chance of parole. |
 | Campos and two other of Green’s counselors at the Giddings State School could testify that Green shouldn’t have been released from the school and intensive counseling to live with his aunt who was already experiencing severe parenting problems of her own. |
