The 24 men are members of Witness to Innocence, a national
organization composed of exonerated former death row prisoners and
their loved ones. They spent a combined total of nearly 200 years on
death row for crimes they did not commit. They will be joined by
State Rep. Elliott Naishtat and former Bexar County District Attorney
Sam Millsap. Naishtat (D-Austin) is a longtime supporter of a
moratorium on executions, while Millsap has become an outspoken critic
of the death penalty since the 1993 execution of Ruben Cantu, who many
believe was innocent.
