Episode 56: The Wrongful Conviction of Timothy Brian Cole
Hey Cruel Coven!
Today Tori is sharing the story of Timothy Brian Cole, a man who was wrongfully convicted of raping Michele Mallin in March of 1985. He was labeled as the "Texas Tech Rapist" and many, even some of his own family members, believed he committed the crime. His closest family members, including his mother, Ruby, knew that Tim would have never done such a disgusting, vile act, and stood by him.
It wasn't until Timothy had died of an asthma attack while incarcerated, serving a sentence of 25 years, at the age of only 39, that the real rapist came forward. Tim's mom, Ruby, said she wished for only one thing...that people would never forget what happened to her son. I felt it vital, after hearing this, to share his story as told by his brother in the documentary, The Long Road to Justice: The Tim Cole Story.
K. Love YOU. Bye!
