it's about anthony graves, who was convicted of killing six people, including four children, all members spent 12 years on death row in texas, and had two execution dates. graves always said he didn't do it. like most prisoners on death row. but late last year, after a lengthy investigation by a journalism class in houston, and an appellate court decision tossing out his conviction, prosecutors finally exonerated graves, and set him free. >> cry, baby, cry. you're free. >> reporter: anthony graves has waited for this moment since 1994, when a texas jury said guilty, six times. but while he walked out of prison, finally, last october, there's still more to his story. >> i'm basically still relying on other people to help me. essentially because right now, you know, i'm -- i have nobody. >> reporter: he should have plenty of money. about $1.5 million. that's what texas state law says 18 years of wrongful imprisonment is worth. >> well, they stole 18 years of my life, man, for something i didn't even know anything about. >> reporter: he'd at least have the money if it weren't for a paperwor

she and her journalism class were instrumental in the release of anthony graves.his morning. mr. casarez, good morning. >> hello. >> this man served 18 years. now, in your mind, what was the one piece of evidence that proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that mr. graves had nothing to do with the commission of this crime? >> you know, there were actually a number of things. the state evidence that supposedly convicted him really didn't stand up. once we took a look at it, the quote/unquote evidence that convicted him was just really nothing. there was no case. but, then, on top of that, anthony had alibi witnesses to show where he was at the time of the crime. so i would say probably he was with his girlfriend that night, and she swore that she was with him all night, that he never left. and i guess, you know, she told me years later, why would i lie for a baby killer? i'm married. i have children of my own. and why would i continue to lie these many years later for someone who killed children? >> okay so you find all this evidence. it looks on the surface as though
