Ivan Cantu

Ivan Abner Cantu was an American man from Dallas, Texas, convicted of the double murder of his cousin, James Mosqueda and Mosqueda's girlfriend, Amy Kitchen, who were shot in their home. The shooting occurred on November 4, 2000, in North Dallas. Cantu was found guilty by a Collin County jury on October 16, 2001. The evidence that was used in his conviction was later deemed to be questionable by his supporters, including the claims that one of the only two key prosecution witnesses had admitted he had lied. His case was championed by well-known anti-capital punishment campaigner Sister Helen Prejean and in a podcast by legal campaigner Matt Duff.
