TX prosecutors admit swaying jury by showing the surviving victim her husband's autopsy photo

ThankYouForNotSmockingHat Retweeted

Night before a man’s scheduled execution, TX prosecutors admitted they purposefully swayed the jury by showing the surviving victim her husband’s autopsy photo so she would break down on the stand. They lied about it for 2 decades. Then they executed him before he could appeal.
