“I’ve said it before, there’s no time limit on seeking justice,” the statement of Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot said.
“We owe it to Mr. Nicholson to clear his name fully and completely. Our job at the district attorney’s office is not just to seek convictions but to ensure that justice is done. I am proud to say that today justice has, in fact, been done in the case of Mallory Nicholson – who is an innocent man.”

According to the innocence Project website, “Wrongful convictions devastate lives and families all over Texas — and fighting a wrongful conviction can be nearly impossible. Innocence Project of Texas provides free, first-class investigative and legal services to indigent prisoners serving time for crimes they did not commit.”
And it also said that “The rate of wrongful convictions is estimated between 2 and 6% meaning that between 3,000 and 9,000 Texans are incarcerated today for crimes they did not commit. IPTX investigates claims of innocence and provides those wrongfully convicted with legal counsel at no cost.”
