Driving to work today I heard on KERA that the Texas Board of Pardons and Paroles has voted to recommend to Gov. Perry that Timothy Cole be the first in Texas to receive of posthumous pardon. Gov. Perry has previously indicated that he would grant a pardon if it was recomended, so it looks like finally Timothy Cole will be pardoned soon. Congratulations to his family who have worked so hard to bring this day to fruition. Nothing can replace what was taken from them but I have to feel that Timonthy Cole is smiling down on them and resting in peace. My prayers and thoughts are with his family. I know there are still answered being searched for in his case so its not totally over but this is a victory. Way to do the right thing Texas!
