Overheard With Evan Smith

Michael Morton, Criminal Justice Reform Advocate

Michael Morton spent nearly 25 years in prison for a crime he did not commit: the 1986 murder of his wife, Christine Morton. Last fall, DNA testing pointed to a different suspect, and Morton was released. Now another man has been charged in the killing of Morton's wife, defense lawyers allege that prosecutors withheld evidence, the public wonders whether a second murder could have been prevented, and Morton is sharing his story.
