Prosecutors should take some strength in the Senate's decision yesterday to avoid voting for Life without Parole for the death penalty. The power of 11 became clear, as prosecutors were able to convince 11 senators not to vote to bring the issue up for a vote. For details, check out the Houston Chronicle article or the Dallas Morning News article

Many thanks to the prosecutors who called their senators and testified.
