We recently completed the changeover to a new, much improved audio management system, including a new program scheduling computer, file servers, workstations and more secure and reliable IT networking between our studios in Garden City and Amarillo. This work involved thousands of audio files and lines of programming code, so you may hear some glitches in our programming as we "burn-in" the system in the coming days. We apologize for any disruptions to your listening. If you have questions or problems to report, please contact HPPR's Technical Director, Alex Fregger (afregger@hppr.org).

Former Alabama AG Urges A New Trial To Prove Death Row Inmate's Innocence

Alabama’s attorney general from 1971 to 1979 says an innocent man is on death row in the state. Bill Baxley, a lifelong defender of the death penalty, says this man must not be executed.

Baxley joined eight former prosecutors and two former chief justices of Alabama calling for Toforest Johnson‘s conviction to be set aside and for him to be granted a new trial.

Baxley joins host Peter O’Dowd.
