On Wednesday, the Dallas County Commissioners Court will consider a resolution exonerating Tommy Lee Walker, who was wrongfully executed for murder in 1956. Despite overwhelming evidence of his innocence, Walker was sentenced to death by an all-white jury after being coerced into a false confession. His case highlights the racial injustice of the time, with nine witnesses confirming his alibi. The meeting will be attended by Walker’s son, who hopes to witness the justice his father sought in life.
