In the
first episode of season 2 of "Death
Row Stories," CNN examined the case
of Ruben Cantu, who was executed in
Texas in 1993 despite serious doubts
about his guilt. The episode
featured an interview with Sam
Milsap, the District Attorney at the
time of Cantu's trial, who asserted
his belief in Cantu's innocence.
Cantu's co-defendant and a key
eyewitness from the case both
supported Cantu's claim of
innocence. The hour-long episode of
the documentary series recounted how
Lise Olsen, an investigative
reporter for the Houston Chronicle,
raised questions about the case and
eventually convinced Milsap that
Cantu was not guilty. "Death Row
Stories" is produced by Robert
Redford and narrated by Susan
Sarandon. It airs Sundays at 10 pm.
Other episodes this season include
the stories of Randy Steidl and Seth
Penalver, who were exonerated and
freed from death row.
