When he was convicted in the 60s the death penalty was unconstitutional.
In the 70s and 80s the Texas State prison System was under the personal supervision of Federal Judge William Wayne Justice, as left wing a man as ever sat as a Federal Judge. He forced massive early paroles because he found "overcrowding"
He was very lucky in his timing.
