Does anyone know where Henry Wade is buried? I’d like to urinate on his redneck grave. He must have been very poorly endowed to feel compelled to wield power so recklessly. If I were related to him, I would change my name and regard his life as a shameful secret to be withheld from my children. He was a barbarian, a filthy, stinking junkyard dog in a suit, and almost certainly a murderer. Good riddance to repugnant trash.

My youngest child will be three in June. I could not imagine going to prison for something I didn’t do, then coming out to find him as an adult. That would make me so bitter.

It’s so horrible to think of all — not just the prisoners, but their families — who had to suffer.

Go, Craig.

I’d like to know where we could send donations to the Texas Innocence Project (it’s a 501(c(3)) and to these gentlemen to help them out. Anyone know?

Here’s the site for the Innocence Project of
Texas. Click on Contribute at the top of the page. http://ipoftexas.org/
You can contribute to the Life After Exoneration Program. I don’t know if contributions can be made directly to individuals.

If you think being railroaded en route to prison via false ‘witness’, (or used by the system to do same) is not something that can happen to ordinary citizens, think again. Then meet me for a drink.

Meanwhile, ask me about how and why I attended Wade’s funeral and how gleefully I shall sooner or later recount more than one legend-reducing personal story regarding Wade…tales in my Native Dallas arsenal.
