While the headline is misleading here, this story gives me hope. The point of this story is that this prosecutor knowingly withheld evidence from the defense that showed the innocence of the man he got convicted. That prosecutor has now been permanently disbarred. I believe our system is broken - but giving teeth to the rules that protect the accused will go a long way towards repairing it. But in the meantime - know your rights, and give us a call if you have any questions.
Today in Texas, former prosecutor and judge Ken Anderson pled guilty to intentionally failing to disclose evidence in a case that sent an innocent man, Michael Morton, to prison for the murder of his wife.
