In 1994, Richard Miles was convicted of a murder he didn't commit and later exonerated. A witness named a suspect but law enforcement never turned it over.
Texas passed the Richard Miles Act in 2021. Now, police must disclose ALL evidence at filing and sign a written statement.

To us, every second chance is a new beginning.
