HOUSTON – A man sent to Texas death row for the 1992 slaughter of a central Texas family became a free man Wednesday after prosecutors dropped the capital murder charges against him. Anthony Graves walked out of the Burleson County Jail in Caldwell on Wednesday afternoon after 16 years behind bars. He had been convicted of helping Robert Earl Carter kill Bobbie Joyce Davis; her 16-year-old daughter, Nicole; and four grandchildren between the ages of 4 and 9 in the family's Somerville home. The family was stabbed, shot and bludgeoned with a hammer and their house doused with gasoline and set ablaze.
