#474 Maggie Freleng with Andre Causey

On August 11, 1991, the body of a young woman was found outside an apartment building in Austin, TX. A bystander reported a black man rubbernecking at the incident, causing the police to question 26-year-old Allen Andre Causey for “suspicious behavior.”

After hours of interrogation police handed Andre a written statement claiming it was his alibi. Andre says only after signing did he learn it was a confession to murder that would land him in prison for three decades. On warm, sunny days, Andre would look outside the prison windows and daydream: “Man, it's just beautiful. I need to be at home.” Home with his family and wife of 23 years, Dellanda. But it would be years before they could reunite.
