Tonight on PBS: a documentary on Independent Lens about people who have been wrongly convicted of a serious crime and spent years in prison, only to have their innocence proven years later.
It airs at 10:00 Texas time, so I'll most likely watch it online tomorrow since Elena will be here.
I heard an interview this morning on NPR between the man who actually committed the crime and the one who'd spent years of the life sentence. Only after being imprisoned for another crime and getting religion did the man who actually committed the crime decide to come clean and admit he'd done the crime for which another man was doing the time.
To convict the wrong man, there was no DNA evidence, only one eye witness.
