Wrongfully convicted of brutally murdering his wife, Michael Morton was locked away in Texas prisons for a quarter century before DNA evidence proved his innocence.
This outrageous tale of a shoddy investigation, a rush to judgment, a lethargic appeals system, and heroic lawyering by the Innocence Project raises profound questions about such momentous issues as justice, truth, and fate. Interviews with Mr. Morton, his lawyers, his fellow inmates, the jurors who imposed the wrongful verdict, and the son whose childhood Mr. Morton missed are riveting. Special features include highlights from the former DA’s Court of Inquiry and plea deal hearing.
