Thanks for Bringing Case Back Before Public Eye
RECEIVED Sat., March 28, 2009
Dear Editor,
I want to commend The Austin Chronicle and Jordan Smith for the excellent article about the gross injustice perpetrated against Danny and Fran Keller [“Believing the Children,” News, March 27]. I will always remember that as one of the sorriest episodes in Austin's history. The outcome of that witch hunt has troubled me for years, and I have often wondered whatever became of the Kellers. I am glad to hear that the Innocence Project of Texas has taken up their cause; it is long overdue, and I hope that someday justice is truly served. The abuse that those children suffered came not from the Kellers but from their so-called therapist, their parents, the Austin Police Department, and the District Attorney’s Office. Thank you for bringing this case back into the public eye.
