Transcript
00:00An unexplained murder.
00:02Three bodies.
00:03A woman and two children.
00:04Oh, God!
00:05You got a slasher killing with very little blood.
00:07Whatever happened started here in the living room.
00:11A man is accused.
00:12Charges rape, three counts of homicide.
00:14I am not pleading guilty to something I didn't do.
00:17You got that? All right?
00:18And the evidence mounts.
00:19We have a witness that puts him and his car at the seam of the crowd.
00:23What's his motive?
00:24Rape is its own motive.
00:25For the cops, it's an open and shut case.
00:27Well, this much evidence can't be a coincidence.
00:30Tim Hennis had better enjoy his freedom now.
00:34Because this is the last free breath he's ever gonna have.
00:39And the defense is convinced it cannot win.
00:41We have a client who Mother Teresa would cheerfully execute.
00:44And the terminator for a prosecutor.
00:46But a father's trust.
00:47The state's asking for the death penalty.
00:49Nobody wants this case, Mr. Hennis.
00:51My son is not guilty. I need help.
00:53And a lawyer's determination.
00:55Hennis may be guilty as Judas. He still has a right to the best defense.
00:58Could be his only hope.
00:59Let's win the case.
01:00But when a jury issues a guilty verdict.
01:02It's outrageous.
01:03I shot it on death row for a crime he didn't commit.
01:06It sets off a shock wave that could rock the justice system.
01:09All I know is that our client is sitting on death row because somehow we dropped the ball.
01:13Never in the history of this state has anyone come off death row.
01:16He didn't do it.
01:17The guy who did is still out there free to do it again.
01:20We've got to give him a new trial.
01:22We've got to set him free.
01:24A killer or an innocent victim.
01:26Witness this compelling drama of one man's search for the truth.
01:29Losing is not an option.
01:31And a father's love for his son.
01:33It ain't over till it's over.
01:34Based on the gripping true story that stunned a nation and exposed a scandal in the police force.
01:39The prosecutor withheld evidence to protect his case.
01:42Deliberate, serious misconduct on the part of the state.
01:45Rick Schroeder.
01:46He dies.
01:47We live with it.
01:48I'm not ready to deal with that.
01:49Hal Holbrook.
01:50I want one thing to prove.
01:52Howard Hessman.
01:53I am probably the best man in the department for this case.
01:56Andrew McClanahan.
01:57No matter what happens, I'm proud of what you did.
02:00In a mystery that will have you guessing until the very end.
02:03Read the verdict.
02:04The justice system is not perfect.
02:06Sometimes the guilty go free.
02:08While others are trapped to become innocent victims.
