Sweet Johnny User ID: 22389534 Australia 08/26/2012 08:08 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Henry Lee Lucas – Body count: Somewhere in the region of 4-213 The only man, the then Governor of Texas George Bush gave a stay of execution to.
A self proclaimed Satanist, cannibal, and mass murderur, Lucas admitted to killed as many as 212, but was only proven to have killed 4.
He was apprehended in 1983 and was then sentenced to death, but bizarrely enough, his sentence was commuted to life in prison by the then-Governor George W. Bush. Out of 153 death penalty cases to be reviewed, Bush decided that this was the only case he’d intervene on.
During Bush’s five-year tenure as governor, 152 people were executed in Texas.

..Bush commuted Lucas' death sentence to life in prison after the Board of Pardons and Paroles recommended clemency. Lucas had recanted hundreds of murder confessions, including the one for which he was sentenced to death... ...Lucas kept confessing to murders he didn't commit, could not have committed...but alive at least they could investigate his claims...life without parole,,, |
