The Leonel Herrera Story

October 10, 2011

This video tells the story of Leonel Herrera, a man sentenced to death for the murder of a policeman in southern Texas in the early 1990s. Herrera was eventually found not guilty of the crime. His story reminds us to consider the irreversibility of the death penalty once the sentence is carried out and invites us to consider the injustices of our criminal justice system.
