Michael Morton, who spent nearly 25 years in a Texas prison before DNA testing exonerated him of his wife's murder, was married on Saturday in Liberty City, a small town in East Texas. The story of Morton's marriage to Cynthia May Chessman, a divorced mother with three children, has much to do with God and the First Baptist Church Liberty City, according to an article on Sunday in the wedding section of The New York Times, "Ready to Share a Life of Front-Page News."

Texas resident Steven Phillips has had a rough 30 years. In 2009, after 24 years in prison, Phillips was declared innocent of the sexual assault charges that landed him behind bars. DNA evidence showed that sexual offender Sydney Alvin Goodyear, not Phillips, had committed the offenses he was in prison for. His time in jail wrecked much of his life. Phillips spent almost three decades locked up, waiting to for the world to believe his claim of innocence. He and his wife divorced in 1992, 10 years after his sentence began. Phillips missed out on raising his child that was due the same year he was incarcerated.

FORT WORTH - When Ruby Cole Session met with Gov. Rick Perry in April 2009, some people told her it was a waste of time. Her son Tim Cole had been wrongly convicted of sexual assault and died in prison, and there were those who said Perry wouldn't be sympathetic to her cause. But after that first encounter, Mrs. Session was confident that Perry would sign the Tim Cole Act, which compensates wrongly convicted people and also created the Timothy Cole Advisory Panel on Wrongful Convictions, which was designed to help reverse other wrongful imprisonments. "My mother said: 'No, no, no. I felt his heart. He'll sign it'," said her son Cory Session of Fort Worth. Mrs. Session died Thursday at her home in Fort Worth of an aneurysm, Cory Session said. Her 77th birthday was Sunday.

Fran Keller was sentenced to 48 years in prison for allegedly sexually abusing a 3-year-old girl, Christy Chaviers, who in 1991 was an infrequent drop-in at the home-based daycare Fran and her husband Dan Keller ran out of their Oak Hill home. (Dan was also convicted and sentenced to 48 years. The current appeal has been filed on Fran's behalf, but will impact Dan's conviction as well.) After a day in care at the Kellers' home that summer Chrsity told her mother, Suzanne Stratton, that Dan Keller spanked her. That allegation quickly morphed into an allegation of sexual abuse - and then again, into wilder allegations of abuse perpetrated by the middle-aged couple on Chaviers and two other children who were also drop-in clients and whose parents were friendly with Stratton. By the fall, the allegations turned fantastical: The Kellers had taken the kids on plane rides to Mexico, subjected them to satanic bone-replacing rituals, killed animals and babies - allegations that led Christy's therapist, then Donna David Campbell, to conclude Christy had been a victim of "ritual abuse."
