About this episode

The episode discusses Rubin Carter's wrongful conviction and the flawed eyewitness identifications that led to his imprisonment for a crime he likely did not commit.

Rubin Carter spent nineteen years in prison for a triple murder he almost certainly did not commit, convicted on eyewitness identifications that only appeared after sustained police contact and a racial revenge motive the state's own witnesses later denied. The prosecution stitched two unrelated crimes from the same night into a coherent story, then suppressed the deal they cut with a witness who was burglarizing a building next door when the shooting happened. Charlie Cruz walks through the whole construction.
