Transcript

00:00My name is Sean Ellis

00:03and I was wrongfully convicted of murder

00:05at 19.

00:08Now I'm facing

00:09my fourth trial and the possibility

00:11of going back to prison for life.

00:16The death of a police officer

00:17is not handled like other homicides

00:20and this one wasn't.

00:21The sense we got was Mulligan's

00:23past had caught up with him

00:25and when a black kid

00:27got arrested, it's like, where'd that come from?

00:30Here we go again.

00:31In my opinion, Sean Ellis executed

00:33John Mulligan.

00:35I was scared, I was confused,

00:38my son was in jail

00:40for murder.

00:44The first words out of Sean's mouth

00:45is, I was there that night.

00:47My cousin, I came out and went home.

00:50Why would somebody put themselves

00:51in the middle of a homicide if they were involved?

00:54The cops were just looking for someone

00:56to pin this murder off.

00:57Ellis was convicted by the work of corrupt

00:59police detectives.

01:04The corruption within the Boston Police Department

01:06is what drove this investigation.

01:10There's nothing that connects Sean

01:12to this crime.

01:13The Attorney General's office knows about it,

01:15U.S. Attorney's office knows about it.

01:16There's no conspiracy.

01:18Sean Ellis did it.

01:19I mean, it's as simple as that.

01:20He did it.

01:21There is a cultural cover-up

01:22that has affected the Boston Police Department

01:24and police departments everywhere across the country.

01:26We just want a taste of freedom.

01:29Justice!

01:30Freedom!

01:32It's a black man, white police officer.

01:35Of course it's race.

01:37Freedom!

01:37Every day that someone stays locked up

01:40for a crime he didn't commit

01:41is a day that you shouldn't be able

01:45to sleep as a prosecutor.

01:47For my fourth trial,

01:49I want to be vindicated.

01:50I want to be exonerated.

01:52I definitely want the world to know

01:54that I'm innocent.
