At 10 this morning, the state Senate Committee on Criminal Justice will have a little face time with John Bradley, the newly appointed chair of the Texas Forensic Science Commission, created in 2005 to see whether Texas should have executed Cameron Todd Willingham in 2004. (Probably not, said the August '09 report: "Investigators ... relied on bad science, unproven theories and personal bias.") Which reminds me: The TFSC's coordinator sent over a Bradley-penned "editorial" in which the Williamson County District Attorney more or less offers a sneak preview of what he'll tell state Sen. John Whitmire and the committee today. You don't even need to jump for it.
"If memory serves, I think it was Medina's wife who was the main suspect."
True. David Medina was indicted on evidence tampering rather than arson (his wife was indicted for arson).
But the Harris County Fire Marshal says it was arson. And a grand jury indicted.
And where is Rick?
Why isn't Perry using the power of his office to make sure Medina and his wife pay for their crimes?
If Perry truly believed the recent advances in fire science are wrong, he should be shouting from the rooftops about how wrong it is that his buddy David Medina got away with arson.

If memory serves, I think it was Medina's wife who was the main suspect. Either way, you make a fair point.
How come when it's Gov. Perry's friends, relying on latter day supposed experts is all hunky dory?
If Perry truly believed the recent advances in fire science are wrong, he should be shouting from the rooftops about how wrong it is that his buddy David Medina got away with arson.
But are the latter day supposed experts right only when it comes to exonerating Friends of (p)Rick?
Mr. Bradley makes a couple of decent points about the need for defined processes and standards, but in general this memo is a crock of shit.
Sounds to me John Bradley has an agenda himself. Too bad its one playing CYA for his republicon overlords who think everyone is guilty until proven innocent...
