Comment on Former Texas Prosecutor Disbarred For Sending Innocent Man To Death Row

Former Texas Prosecutor Disbarred For Sending Innocent Man To Death Row

A Texas legal panel voted on Monday to disbar a former prosecutor for sending an innocent man to death row by presenting tainted testimony and making false statements that undermined the defendant's alibi. The Board of Disciplinary Appeals appointed by the Texas Supreme Court upheld a state licensing board's decision to disbar Charles Sebesta for his conduct in convicting Anthony Graves, who spent 18 years in prison on charges of setting a fire that killed six people before being freed.  Sebesta had convicted Robert Carter for the murders and tried to get Carter to say Graves was an accomplice.
