Lucas pleas governor backs parole review before execution
Texas death row inmate Henry Lee Lucas, who has long claimed innocence after confessing to multiple killings, says he is pleased Governor Bush asked the parole board to review his case. Lucas, 61, faces lethal injection June 30 for a Toronto? Georgetown-area 1979 murder dubbed Orange Socks, with ongoing appeals. He criticizes the courts yet acknowledges possible guilt in his mother’s 1960 Michigan murder, and urges ending the death penalty if innocent people may be executed.
