“Graves Injustice” is a captivating “One Man” stage

narrative, told by Anthony Graves himself, a Death Row

Exoneree.

In 1994, Graves was wrongfully convicted of the

brutal 1992 Somerville, Texas murders. A family of six

people, including four young children.

Graves, who was only 26 years-old at the time, was

arrested and then convicted of capital murder after the real

killer named him as an accomplice. After being

sentenced to death, Graves spent the next 18 1⁄2 years, which included 12 years on

death row and two slated execution dates, trying to clear

his name. In October of 2010, all charges

against Graves were dropped and he was set free, after a

special prosecutor uncovered disturbing evidence of

prosecutorial misconduct and no evidence linking Graves to

the crime.

Graves was the 138th person exonerated from death row in the U.S. He spent 6640 days

in prison for a crime he did not commit.

Graves’ story recently was the

subject of an Emmy Award winning 48-Hours segment.

Graves has been featured in stories across the world and

most recently was a featured guest on the Katie Couric

Show.
