"In 1978 I was found guilty for the rape and murder of 21-year-old Linda Jo Edward in Texas. I was sentenced to death row. I was innocent." - Help an innocent man find justice.

This is definitely a men's rights issue as the number of men receiving harsher punishments is way way higher.

This just makes me sad. Really. It'd be one thing if the system just made a mistake, but the people in charge are either oblivious to what's going on and are therefore incompetent, or they know what's going on and are corrupt. Either way, it's wrong.

The justice system as a whole these days is just a big problem for "justice". When you can be convicted of a crime based on someone's word and nothing else, you know our system is fucked

Thank you for sharing this. Texas fucking sucks from a civil rights standpoint. I doubt he'll have much luck with that piece of shit Rick Perry, but I do wish him well.

Have you reached out to The Innocence Project of Texas?

This is incredibly tragic, and my heart goes out to Mr. Cook, but is this particularly a men's rights issue? It seems to me that the court was simply incompetent.
