Due to his “hang ’em high” intransigence, it now turns out the former Dallas County District Attorney not only kept the innocent incarcerated, but, through his adamant opposition to DNA testing, let the guilty walk as well.
In the case of Patrick Leondos Walker, seven years later, DNA testing by current Dallas DA Craig Walkins has cleared him of an armed robbery.
Unfortunately, one of the likely actual perpetrators was in jail and could have been DNA tested himself at the time Hill refused to allow any DNA testing in the case.
I’m not joking.
Can Hill be tried criminally for malfeasance of office? Or false imprisonment? Can he still be sued?
Can we at least get an ounce of flesh from disbarring him?
And not just Hill. Most of his staffers from that time need the same treatment. Read the full story.
