Over ten year ago the National Center for Reason and Justice formally voted to sponsor the case of the San Antonio Four. We had been following the case for some time before that, and after a thorough investigation we decided that something had to be done.
Information was supplied to us by Darrell Otto, a Canadian biologist who had discovered the case and became convinced of the women’s innocence. We became convinced as well.
So did the Innocence Project of Texas. The NCRJ’s Debbie Nathan contacted them and persuaded them to take the case.
The battle was long and difficult. But we all prevailed. They were freed and exonerated. And yesterday their criminal records were expunged. Read this report.for NBC News by Tim Robbins.
And watch this video of live coverage from the courtroom.
