César Fierro
César Fierro is a 69-year-old Mexican man who spent over 40 years on death row in Texas for a crime he did not commit. Born in Ciudad Juárez, he was coerced into confessing to the murder of a taxi driver, Nicolás Castañón, under threats to his family's safety. After enduring decades of isolation and abuse in prison, he was finally released in 2020 when a Texas court overturned his death sentence due to judicial errors. Fierro's story has since been the subject of documentaries aimed at raising awareness of wrongful convictions and advocating for justice.
