A Timeline of Michael Morton’s Exoneration

This site is maintained by Benson Varghese. Benson is the managing partner of Varghese Summersett PLLC, a criminal defense firm with its principal office in Fort Worth, Texas.

Benson Varghese graduated with a B.B.A. from Southern Methodist University. While in law school at Texas Tech, he ran a nationally-syndicated blog and his articles have been featured in the Wall Street Journal Blog, the ABA Journal Blog, Above the Law, and many other publications. Benson was also an editor for the Estate Planning & Community Property Law Journal as well as the Texas Bank Lawyer.

After graduating from law school, Benson joined the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office before starting his own practice that today is the largest criminal defense firm in Fort Worth.

Benson has tried over one hundred cases to juries in Texas and hopes this site will be useful to litigators across the state.
