Expunging Criminal Records in Texas
2010-11-18
John Palazzolo, the former assistant principal at Arlington Heights High School in Fort Worth, Texas, found out the hard way how a person's past can catch up with them, especially if that past is a criminal one. The Fort Worth Independent School District voted to dismiss Palazzolo the last week of October for failing to disclose his criminal history when he applied for the Arlington Heights job in 2007. The crimes in question were misdemeanors: in 1997, Palazzolo pled guilty to failing to pay past-due child support, and in 1988 Palazzolo received a deferred sentence after ...

2010-11-18
Since 1976, the Supreme Court of the United States has left it to the individual states to decide whether to allow death penalty sentencing. Two-thirds of the executions in the past generation have occurred in only five of the 35 states that authorize the death penalty: Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Texas and Virginia. Since 1976, Texas alone has executed 464 prisoners -- more than four times the number of executions in Virginia, the state with the second most executions in the same time, at 108 prisoners.
