Austin Statesman – Texas is considering allowing suing prosecutors who withhold evidence that can prove innocence.

A bill by Sen. John Whitmire, D-Houston and chair of the Criminal Justice Committee, would close a legal loophole by resetting the statute of limitations for exonerated Texans who allege misconduct by prosecutors. Under current law, they can be denied their day and court, snatching from them another measure of dignity. Another bill, Senate Bill 1611, sponsored by Ellis and Republican state Sen. Robert Duncan of Lubbock, would help reduce wrongful convictions by requiring both prosecutors and defense lawyers to share files that include discovery, witness statements or other key information.

And this from Texas where they are commonly portrayed as lynching people at random to keep crime under control.
