"Texas to Execute Ivan Cantu Despite Claims of Innocence and New Evidence"

Texas is set to execute Ivan Cantu for the murder of his cousin and his cousin’s fiancée, despite doubts about his guilt. Post-trial evidence, including recanted testimony and claims of false evidence, has raised questions about Cantu's conviction. Despite public campaigns and support from thousands of Texans, celebrities, and faith leaders, Cantu's legal options have run out, and his clemency application was denied. Calls to reconsider Cantu's case have gone unanswered, with advocates urging for a delay in the execution to examine the new evidence.
