Some history that has been floating around in oral tradition. It’s well known in some circles and I knew a witness so was able to confirm.
Back a few decades ago, there was an inmate on death row in Texas talking to his sister. The phone call was by law monitored, but inadmissible in court, and this is why it’s known.
On the phone, the guy asked his sister to confess to the murder he was going to die for. His sister refused to confess, saying she had a family to think about. But she, according to herself in that phone call to him, was the one who killed her husband.
After the phone call, an astonished officer asked him why he never mentioned his sister in the court cases.
He replied he had done enough bad things and was paying the price for those instead.
Texas has put a lot of people to death who were innocent of the crimes, and the above story might not be normal because often the inmates were not murderers or bad people.
