THEODORE WHITE, JR.
In February of 1999, Ted White was wrongly convicted
of sexually molesting his
12-year-old daughter and was sentenced to life. After his conviction,
it was discovered
that Ted's wife was involved in a sexual relationship with the detective
who was in charge
of the investigation. PILC lawyers persuaded the Missouri Court of
Appeals to grant
Ted a new trial, and then convinced 12 jurors that Ted is completely
innocent of the
charges. He was finally acquitted and set free on February 7, 2005,
after nearly six years
of wrongful incarceration.
On May 31, 2001, Appellant's brief was filed with the
Missouri Court of Appeals Western District
On April 30, 2002, the Court handed down its opinion
ordering a new trial for Ted White, Jr.
Mo Court of Appeals Western District Opinion
While awaiting the final verdict/acquittal,
Ted was supported by
many well-wishers; family, friends, the community,
former business associates and former jurors.
