Pope appeals to Texas Gov. Bush to stop execution
Pope John Paul has written to Texas Gov. George Bush Jr., asking him to
spare the life of condemned murderer Joseph Cannon, Vatican sources said
Wednesday. The sources said the pope sent a letter on Cannon's behalf
through the Vatican's ambassador to the U.S., asking Bush to commute the
death sentence. The 77-year-old Polish pontiff made the appeal to Bush at
the request of lawyers and family members of the convicted criminal, due to
die by lethal injection later Wednesday, the sources said. The pontiff's
appeal did not enter into questions of innocence or guilt but was based on
humanitarian grounds, they added.
99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
