through the eyes of Pastor Carroll Pickett, who served 15 years as the death house chaplain to the infamous "Walls" prison unit in Huntsville.

The Dallas County District Attorney's office has approved 3 additional post-conviction DNA tests for inmates seeking exoneration, prosecutor Mike Ware said Friday.

And for years, they were not enough to get him cleared for a crime he did not commit.
