Hi All,

This will be big.

The Chicago Tribune is promoting on its website a major three-part series
scheduled to begin this Sunday on another likely Texas wrongful conviction
and execution.  Thus, the first installment of the series will likely be
available on the Tribune website ( www.ChicgoTribune.com )beginning at some
point Saturday afternoon or evening.

The Tribune reports that the story will air on tonight's edition of ABC
News' Nightline.  The ABC News website is not promoting this, yet, however.
According to the Nightline site, two of the three stories have been set for
this evening's broadcast.  Check your local listings for Nightline, which
generally airs following the 11:00 pm (EDT)/10:00 pm local news.  It is also
expected that there will be a report on the Saturday evening edition of ABC
News' World News Tonight.

As always in the world of journalism, breaking news can supersede advanced
planning.

	Here's more info from the Tribune:

Did this man die ... for this man's crime?

On December 7, 1989, Carlos De Luna was executed for murder.  But a Tribune
investigation has uncovered evidence he was not the killer:

	Part 1  Open-and-shut case unravels.
	Part 2  Coming Monday.  Phantom or murderer?
	Part 3  Coming Tuesday.  What the judge and jury never heard.
