Texas Death Row Inmate Harvey Earvin Granted Clemency
Clemency granted to Texas Death Row inmate Harvey Earvin
After 45 years on death row, Earvin's death sentence has been commuted due to new evidence in the case and prosecutorial misconduct.
Harvey Earvin has been on Texas death row for 45 years for the 1976 robbery-murder of a Houston convenience store clerk. He is now scheduled to be released on bond, according to an order from the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.
Earvin was sentenced to death in 1977 for the shooting death of Charles Williams during a robbery at a Houston convenience store. Earvin has maintained his innocence since his arrest, and his legal team has argued that he was wrongfully convicted due to prosecutorial misconduct and ineffective assistance of counsel.
