I'll always believe there is so much more to this tragic story of injustice. Had Les had effective counsel he might have won, but his counsel either set him up or was just too inexperienced. In his case, I firmly believe he should have taken the stand. Ironically or tragically, his lawyer was from Weatherford, where at the time it was rumored factions of law enforcement served as their own cartel. To this day several still unsolved murders there remain topics of conversation, corruption, and intimidation. And to this day law enforcement there circumvents justice for the families of murdered victims.
Most likely one or more of the Grayson County victims was involved in using small planes or ultralights to drop drugs discretely. Heck even our own CIA was doing this at the time. Whatever was going on...the truth will likely remain hidden from us until we meet our maker. This I firmly believe. Texas executed an innocent man in 2015.
You are so spot-on. Don't even get me started on the recycling of drugs in that county. LORD. Thank you for taking the time to watch the show and comment, Don. Les was and is an innocent man!
Those that murdered the men that Les was sentenced to death for must be brought to justice! I would think with DNA evidence from the scene, there would be a chance for conviction of these murders. They should be held accountable for Les's death, as well. This story is heartbreaking. Sadly, I feel certain there has been other innocent people sentenced to death, as well.
DNA is tough. So this happened in 1983, and of course, DNA is just not on anyone's radar. Then we get to the year 2000, when the Bowers try to get a trial due to ineffective counsel. (If you read Shari Bower's memoir, you'll see how awful their attorney was). Les did not have his DNA at the crime scene. Yet here we are.
I would think there would be DNA at the murder scene that would match up with the actual murders that Wit 1 described.
