Anthony Graves' Courage, Hope and Justice

Last week I heard a stirring radio story about Anthony Graves. Anthony spent 18 years behind bars including 12 on death row for a crime that he did not commit. Beyond the obvious indictment of a justice system involved in this story the evidence of courage, hope and the eventual justice done by the current prosecutor are inspiring.

I encourage you to read the story in Texas Monthlyhttp://www.texasmonthly.com/2010-10-01/feature2.php and then to watch the post prison interview http://www.texasmonthly.com/multimedia/video/home/15314 of Anthony Graves. You will be inspired but his grace, hope and his own sense of doing what is right even when it was difficult and potentially could have cost him his life.
