HOUSTON - Eight death row exonerees, from across the US, spoke about the injustice of the death penalty Thursday.
The “Witness to Innocence Freedom Ride” group is hoping to abolish the option in Texas.
The group says Harris County is a natural starting point for the tour because it leads the nation in imposing the death penalty.
From Houston, the group will travel to Dallas, Austin, Corpus Christi and Huntsville.
