None of the women ever took a plea bargain or ever considered it, and always maintained their innocence. In 2012 and 2013, they were finally liberated after one of the accusers recanted her statement and forensic evidence used in the case was debunked.<\/p>\n<p>Through interviews with the four women, their families, and lawyers, as well as footage and unreleased videos, the documentary director reveals the odd claims and injustices that were portrayed on these individuals due to their sexual orientation during the &#8220;Satanic Panic&#8221; of the 1980-90. The production also follows the work of attorneys from the Innocence Project of <span class=\"xn-location\">Texas<\/span>, who played a pivotal role on the women&#8217;s ultimate release from prison.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><b>CAZA DE BRUJAS EN <span class=\"xn-location\">SAN ANTONIO<\/span><\/b> is produced by Motto Pictures and Naked Edge Films with <span class=\"xn-person\">Deborah S.
