   Ted Killory '76, J.D. '79, a partner with Washington, D.C.-based law firm Wilmer, Cutler & Pickering, led a pro bono team of WCP lawyers--working with co-counsel from the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, Hogan & Hartson, and local counsel--that freed from prison and obtained pardons for 38 defendants in Tulia, Texas, who had been convicted of supposed drug charges and sentenced to as much as 90 years in prison, based on the uncorroborated testimony of a white undercover agent with a history of known racist conduct. After a week of testimony discrediting the agent--leading the judge to conclude he was "the most devious, non-responsive law-enforcement witness this Court has witnessed in 25 years on the bench in Texas"--the defense team persuaded the prosecutors, who had vigorously defended the convictions for three years, to join in seeking reversals of all of the convictions. Two months later, all those in prison were freed. Four months later all the defendants were pardoned by the governor.
