An
Innocent Cowboy in Texas...
My
name is Michael Roy Toney. In May of 1999, I was convicted of
capital murder and sentenced to death for a very horrible crime
that was committed on Thursday November 28, 1985.
On the
evening of Thanksgiving Day 1985 in the Fort Worth, Texas suburb
of Lake Worth, three members of the Blount family were murdered.
Joe Blount, his daughter Angela and Angela's cousin, Michael
Columbus, were killed when a bomb that was contained in a
briefcase exploded. The briefcase was reportedly found on or near
the steps of their home.
I was convicted of this
horrendous crime despite the fact that I did not even hear of the
crime until 1997 when a man by the name of Bennie Joe Toole told
me about it. I have never in my life been to the place the crime
was committed and I am in no way whatsoever connected to the
crime. I was convicted without a shred of evidence.
I
have known since my so-called trial that the BATF and the State
of Texas investigators had to have somehow told my ex-wife, Kim
and my old friend and business partner, Chris Meeks what to
testify to. However, we could not find evidence to prove it until
2006 by what can only truly be described as a miracle—my
defense team found exculpatory evidence that had been illegally
withheld by Michael Parrish, the Tarrant County prosecutor at my
trial!
I now know that my greedy, vengeful ex-wife and
Chris Meeks were manipulated and coerced into providing the false
testimony that caused me to be convicted of a terrible crime that
I am completely innocent of and sentenced to death.
The
testimony
that
caused my conviction was totally fabricated, coerced and
perjured.
I do not make these assertions without being
able to provide evidence to support them. The proof is contained
here on this site, but in order to understand the case and how an
innocent man was convicted, one must be intimate with details and
facts of the case.
Michael
was released from prison September 2, 2009 and he died in a
tragic auto accident near Rusk on October 3, 2009.
On
October 6, 2009 the Texas attorney general stated they will
continue to investigate the 1985 bombing falsely attributed to
Michael Toney.
