Charles Mamou – Wrongful Conviction in Harris County, Texas | Death Row Chronicles
In this episode of Death Row Chronicles, we uncover the controversial case of Charles Mamou, sentenced to death in Harris County, Texas — a place once notorious for its aggressive pursuit of the death penalty. Convicted in a climate where securing executions was celebrated, Mamou’s case raises serious questions about wrongful convictions, missing evidence, and a justice system driven by results, not truth. We dive deep into the 1998 incident, conflicting witness testimonies, and the prosecution’s questionable tactics.
