Michael Morton & Mark Norwood
About two weeks ago, we described the historic conviction of Texas Judge Ken Anderson for criminal contempt for deliberately withholding exculpatory evidence in the murder conviction of Michael Morton when Anderson was a prosecutor. In light of the historic report by the International Association of Chiefs of Police, National Summit on Wrongful Convictions: Building a Systemic Approach to Prevent Wrongful Convictions, that we wrote about yesterday, we think it’s important to present the other side of the story:
The wrongfully convicted second victim’s story.
We say, “second victim” because any time there is a wrongful conviction, the number of victims grows quickly and exponentially.
