In 1991, eighteen-year-old Tony Egbuna Ford was sentenced to death for a murder he said he did not commit. More than three decades later, he is still on Texas' death row and maintains his innocence.
Condemned Without Cause examines the wrongful conviction of Tony Ford through court records, sworn testimony, expert eyewitness analysis, and the accounts of three independent witnesses who say another man confessed to the crime. It documents a biased photo lineup, suppressed doubt from key witnesses, and a failure to investigate the most obvious alternative suspect.
At the center of the case is a simple but urgent question: Are we willing to execute in the face of doubt?
This book is a last-ditch attempt for a fair evidentiary hearing, and it is a case study in how wrongful convictions happen, how they persist, and how the machinery of death continues turning long after certainty has fractured.
Proceeds from this book support the nonprofit Execution Intervention Project.
