John Bradley (Perry's appointee to head Texas's Death Panel) announced today 
that he has has postponed further inquiry into a recent botched execution 
until after he and the other new appointees re-write the rules for the 
committee.
Calling the existing rules "unfair", he said more must be done to ensure the 
secrecy of the panel's findings.
This secrecy, according to the Republicans, is necessary in light of the 
recent disclosure of information proving that the executed man was in fact 
innocent of the crime.

Judge Bradley is also serving as a prosecutor in Williamson County - a 
tribal village with a zealously religious and anti-government culture.
