2. This show was preceded by a show about the Innocence project |
|
Absolutely chilling story of a PA guy wrongly convicted of rape who spent 20 years in jail before DNA evidence exonerated him.
Interesting thing was how the DA delayed and stalled and actually LIED to prevent the DNA testing from occurring. The DA Bruce Castor ran for state attorney general as a Republican, but was defeated in the primaries. He is still the DA of Montgomery County.

4. Lesson: Never talk to police without an attorney |
|
These people talked to the police willingly without an attorney because in their minds, they had nothing to hide.

7. I couldn't find any re-broadcast date on their website. |
|
There is a book which is the script of the original play by the same name.
There is also a book called Actual Innocence : Five Days to Execution, and Other Dispatches From the Wrongly Convicted by Barry Scheck, Peter Neufeld, and Jim Dwyer, that is about the work done by the Innocence Project.
