Dallas prosecutor disbarred for withholding evidence that could have cleared men of murder charges
(Bill Elliott – Elliott & Associates - NM)
When former Dallas County prosecutor Richard E. Jackson put two homeless Black men on trial in 2000 for the murder
of a local pastor, he allegedly withheld a heap of evidence that could have cleared them. Witnesses couldn’t pick the
suspects out of a lineup, neither of the men matched descriptions provided to investigators, and prosecutors had
brokered secret deals with jailhouse informants for favorable testimony, appeals court papers would later show.

In separate trials, jurors heard none of it. Jackson got his convictions, and Dennis Allen and Stanley Mozee were
sentenced to life in prison. Only after an extensive review by the Innocence Project and Jackson’s successors were the
men exonerated — 14 years later.
