Texas DA linked to wrongful conviction out of job

From [HERE] As Michael Morton became a household name across Central Texas, his story became harder for John Bradley to shake.

The district attorney in Williamson County, Bradley spent years arguing against DNA testing of a bloody bandana that could have cleared Morton of his wife's murder. The bandana was eventually tested, and Morton walked out of prison after nearly 25 years.

The case helped bring down a sharp-eyed, tough-talking attorney once named prosecutor of the year in Texas. Bradley lost Tuesday in a Republican primary to retain his seat after his opponent waged a campaign focused on Morton.

In a state where dozens of wrongfully convicted people have been freed, Bradley's loss was an extremely rare example of a wrongful conviction case having electoral consequences.
