520    In 1999, undercover narcotics agent Thomas Coleman 
       executed one of the biggest drug stings in Texas history. 
       Of forty-six people indicted for dealing cocaine, thirty-
       nine were black.  Thirty-eight defendants took plea 
       bargains; eight who fought the charges were all convicted 
       and sent to prison. After three years, attorneys finally 
       won a hearing before the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. 
       On June 16, 2003, thirteen Tulia defendants were released 
       from prison.  After the Governor pardoned all the 
       convicted defendants, the settlement of a civil suit, the 
       arrest and conviction of Coleman on a felony charge that 
       bars him from ever working in law enforcement again, Tulia
       seemed to return to normal.  What is 'normal' when this is
       the price paid by small town Americans for the war on 
       drugs?
