ID Channel (Michael Morton)

I just finished watching the story on the ID channel about "Michael Morton", who was convicted in the 80's for his wife's murder. He spent nearly 25 years in prison before he was exonerated by DNA evidence which supported his claim of innocence and pointed to the crime being committed by another individual. Morton was released from prison on October 4, 2011; the prosecutor was convicted of contempt of court for withholding evidence after the judge had ordered its release to the defense. It was a great and sad story, I hope today he is doing well. I'm also happy for him and having his own personal relationship with God. I'm a Criminal Justice major and I'm sad to hear and see that the Justice failed him so long but finally helped him at the end. I would love to have a meet and greet with "Michael Morton". May the lord be with you.
