Michael Morton, 57, was exonerated after spending 25 years in a Texas prison for killing his wife. His attorneys are now seeking a "court of inquiry" to examine whether the prosecutor committed misconduct by withholding exculpatory evidence.
If approved, a judge would be selected to preside over the inquiry. A district or county attorney would assist examining witnesses and evidence.
Prosecutorial misconduct (specifically, prosecutors withholding evidence) is a common factor in cases where the defendant is later exonerated.
