Checking in with Michael Morton

Michael Morton, perhaps Texas' most famous exoneree since the Tulia defendants, has a new website promoting his book, Getting Life (Texas Monthly published a pericope here), as well as a new Twitter feed. In addition, Morton published an op-ed last month in the Dallas Morning News titled, "Prosecutors are not above the law." Check out the site; read the book; follow the feed; peruse the column.

Finally, BBC radio recently ran a piece on his case and the documentary on Morton's false conviction and exoneration that first ran on CNN, An Unreal Dream, is now available online or on DVD.

  1. Mr. Morton, since I can't get Grits to consider running for Governor, I challenge you to consider taking the reins of Texas and lead us out of this state-of-confusion and as far away as possible from the land-of-the-loopholes that the R's & D's (and the fakers & shakers - inbetweeners) created for themselves and their cronies. Maybe you can get him to accept a Post in your office. I’ll put the rest of this challenge in another location due to length and content. Thanks. C-ya at your new site. Btw, Happy Birthday man.

    VOTE MORTON! I am. At least buy the book, one for yourself and one as a gift. If you can afford to buy some to donate, maybe you can get Grits to award them to random GFB readers, or winners of a GFB contest.
