The Murder of Anita Byington: An Interview with the Innocence Project of Texas

In 1991, a young college student named Anita Byington went out with friends in Austin, Texas. The following morning, she was found brutally murdered.

A man named Allen Andre Causey was tried and convicted of the murder in 1992. His confession to police was a major piece of evidence against him.

Now, the Innocence Project of Texas says Causey is a factually innocent man. The Travis County Prosecutor's Office agreed with this, although members of Anita Byington's family say that they still believe the evidence against Causey points to innocence. Causey was paroled in 2022, but he could soon receive an exoneration as well.

In this episode, we will hear from Causey's Innocence Project of Texas team: executive director Mike Ware, senior staff attorney Jessi Freud, staff attorney Chase Baumgartner, and attorney Amber Vasquez. They will explain why they believe the evidence strongly points to Causey's innocence, and who they think really killed Anita.
