Justice wasn't served.

In a recent article released by the Texas Tribune titled "Ken Anderson's Testimony Caps Dramatic Inquiry"shines light on a recent case where a man was proven of his innocence with DNA testing in his wife's murder case. The article describes the last week of testimony in a court of inquiry trying to determine whether former Williamson County district attorney committed any wrongdoing in the wrongful conviction of Michael Morton.  Morton was sentenced to life in prison in his wife's murder. Evidence that would have proven his innocence 25 years ago was withheld from his defense team. These are the allegations Anderson is facing for any wrongdoing in this case. This article is worth reading because it shows how our justice system is full of flaws and that clearly someone had to much power to determine what evidence would be provided and what evidence would be withheld.
