We are friends and supporters of Charles Don Flores, an innocent man on Texas Death Row.

Charles Don Flores’s wrongful conviction is a result of an identification made long after the crime by a witness who had repeatedly failed to identify Mr. Flores and described seeing two perpetrators who looked nothing like him. Her identification of Mr. Flores was made for the first time mid-trial, after she had been subjected to “investigative hypnosis” and after she had been exposed, on multiple occasions, to Mr. Flores’s photo.

The fruits of investigative hypnosis are now banned from Texas criminal trials because it is junk science. But Mr. Flores remains on death row and is at serious risk of execution because no court has yet considered the evidence of a profoundly corrupted trial.
