Michael Morton: A part of the Morton story that '60 Minutes' did not include; Reporter Brandi Grissom The Texas Tribune.

STORY: "On 60 Minutes Exoneree seeks accountability," by reporter Brandi Grissom, published on March 26, 2012, by the Texas Tribune.


GIST: "A part of the Morton story that 60 Minutes didn't include was the seven-year battle that finally led to the DNA testing last year. Williamson County District Attorney John Bradley has also drawn criticism for his refusal for years to allow testing on the bandana that ultimately contained DNA that freed Morton and led to the arrest of Norwood. Bradley has said that he was following advice from his predecessor and that he was unaware that Anderson had not provided all the evidence in his file. In an interview after Morton's release from prison, Bradley, who is facing a stiff re-election challenge, said he was humbled and changed by his experience with the Morton case."
