There may be those here that consider sending an innocent man to Death Row as a small thing and that this is just another case of evil Democrats beating up on a hard working Republican named Anderson.

If this hard working Republican had not been in such a rush to find someone, anyone, guilty the true killer, who was discovered through DNA testing and is now behind bars, would not have killed another woman less than one year later.

The facts of this case have been known for several years. When the DNA evidence was proven a new trial was requested. The then Williamson County DA refused for six years to consider it and blocked any new trial based on the new evidence. The innocent man was exonerated after a lawsuit was filed to force a higher court to consider the case.

After the capture of the true murderer a daughter of the second victim demanded an answer from Ken Anderson who was DA when the innocent man was sent to prison. Anderson blamed 'the system' and denied responsibility for any mistakes.

The true magnitude of Anderson's crime became known when it was discovered he had evidence that proved the innocence of the accused but withheld it from the Defense, and it is this crime for which he was convicted.
