Chapter 5 | Anybody Will Do

About this episode

Beth Shelburne investigates the conviction of Toforest Johnson in a murder case lacking physical evidence and explores the personal implications of the prosecution's actions.

Beth Shelburne digs into how Toforest Johnson was convicted without a shred of physical evidence, as prosecutors leap between ever-shifting theories of Deputy Hardy’s murder. Confronting the prosecutor who once sought a death sentence, she uncovers a case where the law bends into something dangerously personal.
