- This is all the fault of the redneck prosecutor. Stories like this is why this country has to take a close look at the death penalty. If it was not for the journalism class looking into the circumstances of the case, this man would be dead today. How many have been wrongfully excuted before him and will be after him. I have a goal of visiting every state in the country, but I might skip Texas. Good job 48 Hours!!!

- you can't compensate a man for this kind of injustice, but the wonderful thing is that Anthony Graves is an advocate for others and uses his experience to help others... you can only wonder how many innocent folks die under death penalty laws, particularly in State of Texas.

- Honestly in terms of was he fairly compensated? I don't think that you can ever put a price on 18 years worth of freedom, of missing your children grow from young kids to adulthood, and to missing so many holidays and times with your family and friends. The money really just helps because having his criminal past on file will definitely limit his job choices, regardless of the fact that he was wrongly convicted. I don't think that any amount of money can compensate for everything that he lost, however at least they didn't wrongly refuse to pay because of a mis-wording or whatever in the documents. I'd like to see the judge/official that decides that to spend 18 years in prison on death row then tell us all how those two words shouldn't take away from his compensation. You could tell that this victim was wrongly accused from the start. It's sad that this happened and I am glad that he at least was not executed and was freed.

- This was an extremely emotional story. There is injustice in the legal court system big time. What about the wife of the murderer who was executed. Obviously, the killer was the father of the youngest victim due to the motive proclaimed. And I agree that if someone before dying states that a person is innocent ... that says a lot. Usually misery loves company. But in this case... I am very happy for Anthony Graves

- Why is Sebasta not disbarred? He has done tremendously wrong acts and is not at all an honest advocate of the law. He does not grasp the gravity of his actions. On top of everything, he sounds like he can't tell his ass from his elbow, let alone be a prosecutor.

- What of the failed lie detector test? I'm not completely sure that Mr.Graves didn't have something to do with these deaths.

- There is a reason why lie detector tests are not admissible in court... they are not reliable enough to use as evidence.

- well the first prosecutor did lie so is it just a long shot that the failed lie detector test was a lie as well?

- I'm not sure that in his shoes, I wouldn't have failed the lie detector test, too. Imagine you're a black man snatched out of your life and into the largely white law enforcement environment for a horrible crime you didn't commit. Wouldn't you be nervous as all heck?

- Are you serious? How can you watch this and think this man had anything to do with this at all? People fail lie detectors everyday and that is why they are not used in court anymore. I watched one story here where the innocent victim failed one and her guilty attacker passed it.

- Do you know why lie detector tests arent allowed to be used av evidence? Becuase they're not reliable and often wrong. You're probably just a racist, like the prosecutor.

- Wow what a story. This man was put in prison for 16years for a crime he didnt do. I found this to be a very touching story. I cried at the end to see him walk free and be with his family was very touching. The man who invicted him should be ashamed of himself he only wanted to kill two black men its sad that this day in age you cant even trust the justice system because they are still racist.
