San Antonio Four declared actually innocent!

Congrats to the San Antonio Four and their attorneys on the women's exoneration and findings of actual innocence from the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. See coverage from the SA Express-News, the majority opinion by Judge David Newell and a concurrence from Elsa Alcala. The decision clears the way for the four women to be compensated for their wrongful imprisonment.

Judges Keller and Keasler did not agree with the actual innocence claim but would have granted relief under Texas' junk science writ, while Hervey and Yeary did not participate in the decision.
