The Murder of Anita Byington: An Interview with Her Cousin Kristina Byington

In 1991, a young college student named Anita Byington was brutally murdered in Austin, Texas. A man named Allen Andre Causey was tried and convicted of the murder, based largely on his confession to police. Causey was paroled recently. But the Innocence Project of Texas took on the case, believing that he was factually innocent of the crime and that he deserved to be exonerated. The Travis County Prosecutor's Office agreed with their assessment, and legal proceedings have been going on this year around Causey's exoneration.

But Anita's cousin Kristina Byington is pushing back. She feels that Causey is guilty of the crime, and she has criticized the Travis County Prosecutor's Office for leaving her in the dark and working too closely with Causey's team. Today, we will speak to Kristina. Tomorrow, we will hear from the other side when we interview the Innocence Project of Texas, a group of attorneys who strongly feel Causey is innocent and that another man killed Anita all those years ago.
