Michael Morton: When Prosecutors Hide the Truth

This gripping finale examines how prosecutorial misconduct and deliberately suppressed evidence led to Michael Morton spending 25 years in prison for his wife's murder. We investigate how prosecutor Ken Anderson withheld crucial evidence pointing to another killer, including witness statements and bloody bandana evidence. Through detailed analysis of court documents and post-conviction proceedings, we reveal how Morton's legal team uncovered the misconduct and used DNA testing to identify the real killer. The episode concludes by examining the groundbreaking Morton Act, which reformed Texas discovery laws, and the rare prosecution of the DA who hid evidence - marking a watershed moment for prosecutorial accountability.
