The Wrongfully Convicted Husband? The Murder of Christine Morton | Texas True Crime

The Wrongfully Convicted Husband? The Murder of Christine Morton | Texas True Crime

Author: Always True Crime May 27, 2026 Duration: 54:01

This week on Seeing Red, we travel back to Texas in the 1980s to examine a case that began with the brutal murder of Christine Morton — and led to one of the most shocking miscarriages of justice in modern American criminal history.

Her husband, Michael Morton, quickly became the focus of the investigation and was convicted of her murder. But years later, serious questions began to emerge about what had really happened, and whether the wrong man had been sent to prison while the real killer remained free.

We discuss the investigation, the evidence, the conviction, and the extraordinary fight that would eventually expose devastating failures within the justice system. A story of loss, wrongful conviction, and a search for the truth that took decades.
