Death Row Inmate's Conviction Questioned Amid Allegations of Prosecutorial Misconduct
Former Prosecutor and Reality TV Star Kelly Siegler Accused of Orchestrating Jailhouse Informant Scheme
- Jeffrey Prible, a former Marine, has been on death row for 21 years for a crime he insists he did not commit.
- Prosecutor Kelly Siegler, now a reality TV star, is accused of orchestrating a jailhouse informant scheme to secure Prible's conviction.
- Federal Judge Keith Ellison vacated Prible's conviction, citing a 'pattern of deceptive behavior and active concealment' by the prosecution.
- However, the 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals reinstated Prible's death sentence, ruling that the claims about the informant scheme were raised too late.
- Prible's attorney, Gretchen Scardino, plans to take the case to the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals.
