48 Hours Mystery to feature Anthony Graves' story
Via the Texas Tribune, we learn that CBS News' 48 Hours Mystery will feature a segment on Anthony Graves' false conviction tonight. See the full story.
Wow, that show, that story was so powerful! To believe that Texas has put to death or tried to put to death innocent men is beyond belief! But I know of a few cases (my husband being one) where TDCJ staff and parole have made mistakes. I feel that the prosecutor on this case should not have been immune from what he did! All he got for incarcerating this man for over 18 years and stealing his life on the basis of the lies of a known liar and the real perpetrator, was a 'slap on the wrist'. Grave Injustices DOES NOT even begin to cover what happened to Anthony. God bless him for the forgiveness and the lack of hate in his heart!
