Whatever happened to Tom Coleman?

[Archae]

He was the corrupt cop in Tulia, Texas who put dozens of people in jail for years, on lies about being crack "kingpins."
Almost all were black, and Coleman admitted to being racist AF.

He got a couple years (at most) for perjury, and Texas paid the wrongfully convicted people millions.

Where is Coleman now?

1. All I seem to find is this...

From the end of the article:

Tom Coleman would go to trial for perjury and would also be found guilty. He wouldn’t serve any time in prison, but he would receive ten years of probation, a far cry from the years of imprisonment his victims had to endure. Coleman was last known to reside in Waxahatchie, where he tries to find work as a welder. He claims that he told the truth about all of the deals he made in Tulia, and stands by his story. “They were pissed off at me because all the blacks went to jail, and I was the cause of all this misery,” he says. “Well, I wouldn’t have been the cause of all this misery if they hadn’t sold me dope. I’m not an angel. I’ll own up to anything I didn’t do right, but I’ll sure as hell not own up to anything I didn’t do.”

Bolding is mine. The article has a time it was posted but no date... The law firm that does the blog has a lot of articles done after that one so I'm reasonably certain it was not today.

2. Notice he still claims to be "truthful."

No sense of remorse, no sense of renouncing his racism.

I also noticed he was trying to find work as a welder.

I bet as soon as word got out who he was, he would get fired. He deserves to die alone and broke.
