About this episode

The final episode uncovers a conspiracy in a murder case that raises questions about wrongful convictions.

In the final episode of Proof: Murder at the Bike Shop, the team uncovers letters and documents suggesting a conspiracy that may have reached the highest levels of Kalamazoo’s legal system—one aimed at preventing a key eyewitness from testifying in one of the county's most horrific murder trials. Nearly two decades later, what does this mean for the five Polderman defendants? Scott Baldwin is gone, but his case isn’t the end of the story. As new evidence comes to light, it raises urgent questions about other cold case convictions—and for those still in prison who may have been wrongfully convicted, the story is far from over.
