Dive deep into one of the most egregious examples of wrongful conviction in American history: The Michael Morton case. In this gripping episode, we unpack the tragic murder of Christine Morton in 1986 and the subsequent, deeply flawed investigation that led to her husband, Michael Morton, being sentenced to life in prison.

For nearly 25 years, Michael Morton maintained his innocence, battling a system seemingly determined to keep him behind bars. We meticulously examine the circumstantial evidence, the prosecutorial misconduct, and the suppressed exculpatory evidence – including crucial information pointing to another potential suspect. We'll explore the impact of confirmation bias and tunnel vision on the investigation, highlighting how easily law enforcement can become fixated on a single suspect, blinding themselves to other possibilities.

This isn't just a story about a wrongful conviction; it's a story about the devastating consequences of a flawed justice system. We’ll delve into the critical role DNA evidence ultimately played in exonerating Michael Morton, proving his innocence and freeing him from prison in 2011. But the story doesn’t end there. We’ll discuss the subsequent investigation into former Williamson County District Attorney Ken Anderson, who was eventually convicted of contempt of court for withholding evidence that could have cleared Morton decades earlier.

Beyond the legal complexities, we'll explore the profound emotional and psychological impact on Michael Morton. Imagine spending a quarter of a century wrongly imprisoned for the murder of your wife. We discuss his struggles to rebuild his life, reconnect with his son, and find forgiveness after enduring such a profound injustice. We also explore the lasting impact on the Morton family and the fight for justice that continues to this day.
