Summary of Case:	"Muneer Deeb was sentenced to death after being convicted of hiring David Wayne Spence to kill one of the three victims of the 1982 Lake Waco murders. The only substantive evidence against him came from two jailhouse informants, one of whom later recanted. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals overturned the conviction in 1991, and Deeb was acquitted at a new trial. (Source: 'Death Isn't Fair, Texas Monthly, December 2002)"
