Michael Morton: Grits for Breakfast's perspective on former DA John Bradley's affidavit: "Is there truth that is correct but inaccurate?" Post is headed: "John Bradley reverses course on the road to Damascus."


POST: "John Bradley reverses course on the road to Damascus," posted by "Grits for Breakfast on February 8, 2013.

GIST: "A titillating excerpt from the Tribune's coverage of the Ken Anderson court of inquiry, where former Williamson County DA John Bradley recanted his always-suspect road to Damascus moment from the primary campaign: Bradley contended that Barry Scheck of the Innocence Project, one of Morton's lawyers, had drafted the affidavit he signed in 2011. The words in the affidavit, Bradley said, were Scheck's, not his. And Bradley said the statements in the affidavit were "true and correct" but not "true and accurate." "I didn’t have a lot of control over this," said Bradley, the longtime DA and former Texas Forensic Science Commission chairman known for his hard-nosed approach. "It was going to be his statement not mine." "True and correct" but not "true and accurate"? Is there truth that is correct but inaccurate?"
