Paul Broussard - Thanks to Schroeder for forwarding this to us, and my apologies for not blogging on it sooner. Earlier this month, parole was denied to two men convicted of killing a gay man in Houston in 1991. I have to admit that I was unfamiliar with the case before reading the most recent developments, and so I had to do a little research about what had happened to Paul Broussard. His mother, Nancy Rodriguez, has now become active in the crusade for victim's rights. I wonder if case would have generated more publicity and more public sympathy in a post-Will & Grace, post-Matthew Shepard era.
