So it still didn't mean
that he didn't do it,
but we knew something was maybe fishy
about this witness.
So we looked through the file,
a piece of paper in the file
had a number on it.
The number indicated
that this witness had a record.
We went back through 20 years
of non-digitized papers
to figure out what this record was about,
and it turned out -- it turned out --
the eyewitness was in jail
when she said she saw what she saw.
The man spent 17 years behind bars.
The last one is a case about two boys,
Willie Stuckey, David McCallum.
They were arrested at 15,
and their conviction was vacated
29 years later.
Now this was a case,
once again -- first blush,
it looked open and shut.
They had confessed.
But my research showed
that juvenile confessions
without a parent present
are prone to error.
