this father and husband got up one morning and went to work
he left his young son and wife at home
later he called to talk to his wife and the sheriff answered the phone
sir your wife has been murdered
can we talk to you
apparently he was murder suspect number one from the beginning
he went to trial and was convicted to life in prison
he said im innocent and refused to ever admit he murdered his wife
this despite a suspicious van in the neighborhood
a bloody bandanna was found near his house
his credit card had been stolen and used in another town
his son told this story of a wild man hurting his mom that day
the problem was none of this evidence was ever given to his
lawyer or presented at trial
the problem was that a similar case nearby happened
another young lady was murdered in her home
that case was never solved
he spent 25 years in prison
he lost his son
he was a broken man
the innocence project became involved
for 6 years the now prosecutor refused to let dna testing be
done on the bloody bandanna
finally the innocence lawyers got court approval for dna testing
and got odd records
dna showed another guys dna matched the blood
he was a known criminal who is now
being charged for the murder of michaels wife and for the murder
of the other young lady 25 years ago
sad that 2nd murder could have been prevented
and michaels lost life would not have happened
the prosecutor now a judge-thats scary-
is under investigation for misconduct
i say disbar him
here is the news report of his story
it does make me teary eyed when i read and hear this story
makes you have real confidence in our legal system huh
how many other michael mortons are there out there
what if he had been sentenced to death
his life was lost but now in the later stages of his life he has
hope for some happiness with his son and his new granddaughter
justice is it blind
