Martin Santillan quickly wiped a tear from his face so people in the packed courtroom wouldn’t see him cry.
The appeals court issued a mandate Tuesday that allowed for an exoneration hearing to take place Wednesday in state District Judge Audra Riley’s court, lawyers said. The case against Santillan rested on a sole eyewitness who picked him out of a six-person photo lineup on his second time viewing the photos with Dallas police, according to court records.
Santillan, with the help of the legal team at Centurion Ministries Inc., petitioned the conviction integrity unit three times to retest DNA.
