Child rapist serving four life sentences wants $1million compensation for wrongful murder conviction
Michael Blair is a confessed child rapist, serving four life sentences. Still, he’s asking the Texas Supreme Court to order the state to compensate him for some of the years he spent on death row for a rape and murder he didn’t commit.

The supreme court should throw his case files out and not even consider his claim
