'A Man Has to Stand for Something'

This clip is from the CBC News program 60 Minutes and features a Dallas man who was wrongly convicted of killing his girlfriend and spent 27 years in prison. He was recently exonerated of the crime and now his story is making the rounds. He never confessed to killing his girlfriend and maintained his innocence for 27 years. Despite the justice system's blindness, he held onto the truth of his innocence until DNA evidence proved him to be so. It's a reminder to me of how believers should stand for the truth at all times, even those times when the alternative would seem to make our life easier. All the man had to do was admit his guilt and he could have gotten out on parole. He had 12 opportunities to confess. There is a 30-second commercial (courtesy of CBS) before the clip begins.
