Yeah. Actually this is really depressing. Thirty year old man goes into prison for a crime he didn't commit (actually, in fact, they now think it was an accident, so not even a crime), and a 65 year old blind man comes out.

Glad justice was finally granted.
FWIW, Texas may lead the country in executions, but it also leads in exonerations of wrongfully convicted and benefits given to those individuals.
