Texans know very little about the Court of Criminal Appeals, but it must be reformed. The Court once ruled in favor of a man charged with drowning his wife because prosecutors neglected to say what she’d drowned in. The Court’s approach forgets that an individual crime is a violent eruption that shatters lives. Enough is enough; only criminals and inefficiency would suffer in the Court’s absence.
