Max Soffar

Max Soffar has been on death row for over 23 years. His conviction was overturned late last year and he is being re-arraigned today in a Houston district court. Max has a very strong claim of innocence. There is no physical evidence to put him at the scene of the crime or any eye witness, and his "confessions" to the crimes all contradict one another and do not match up with the facts of the murders themselves. Why would Max confess? Well, read the article, the author does a better job of explaining the reasons than I could at this juncture.
