Ten Days Compared to 25 Years

Former Texas prosecutor and district court judge Ken Anderson agreed Friday to serve 10 days in jail, complete 500 hours of community service and give up his law license for hiding evidence in a 1987 murder trial that sent an innocent man to jail for nearly 25 years.

One piece of evidence he withheld was an interview with the murdered woman’s mother who said the 3-year-old son of the victim saw the murder and told his grandmother that his father wasn’t home at the time. The other piece of evidence was a report that a man in a green van had been seen going into the woods behind the victim’s home.

Oh, and Anderson will also pay a $500 fine.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
