Even a cursory analysis of Graham's trial reveals shocking ineptitude. His defense lawyer, Ronald Mock, didn't call a single witness during the proceedings, essentially allowing the capital murder charge to go unchallenged. It wouldn't have been all that tough for Mock to do his job with a degree of competence: Slim evidence links Graham to the crime; several eyewitnesses have said Graham was not the man they saw at the murder scene, and when he was arrested, Graham was carrying a different gun than that used in the murder...

And that's just the lead. The New York Times shone the light on Ronald G. Mock, a picaresque Texas public defender who has a wing of the state's death row named after him. The portrait is flattering neither to Mock nor Bush's courts. A similar Tribune investigation prompted Gov. George Ryan's moratorium on executions in Illinois - but though Gov. Bush made a calculated sidestep...
