The Murder Sheet is a weekly true crime podcast hosted by journalist Áine Cain and attorney Kevin Greenlee.
We take a journalistic approach to covefing true crime. We have broken national news on major cases, like the Delphi murders and the Burger Chef murders. We also cover plenty of other subjects, including high-profile murders, cold cases, legal topics within the criminal justice system, restaurant slayings, historical crimes, and wide-ranging interviews with authors and experts.
If you're looking for in-depth coverage of both well-known and obscure cases, smart legal analysis, and thoughtful interviews, then this is the true crime podcast for you. The Murder Sheet is a production of Mystery Sheet LLC.
In 1991, a young college student named Anita Byington was brutally murdered in Austin, Texas. A man named Allen Andre Causey was tried and convicted of the murder, based largely on his confession to police. Causey was paroled recently. But the Innocence Project of Texas took on the case, believing that he was factually innocent of the crime and that he deserved to be exonerated. The Travis County Prosecutor's Office agreed with their assessment, and legal proceedings have been going on this year around Causey's exoneration.
But Anita's cousin Kristina Byington is pushing back. She feels that Causey is guilty of the crime, and she has criticized the Travis County Prosecutor's Office for leaving her in the dark and working too closely with Causey's team. Today, we will speak to Kristina. Tomorrow, we will hear from the other side when we interview the Innocence Project of Texas, a group of attorneys who strongly feel Causey is innocent and that another man killed Anita all those years ago.
