25 Years for a Crime He Didn't Commit

Can a blue bandana solve a 25-year cold case? Hear all about the Michael Morton case, a man who fell victim to a serious case of tunnel vision. A man who would be convicted for something he didn't do. Until, years later, DNA finally exposed the real killer.

But here's the kicker. The prosecutor in his case, purposefully withheld evidence in Michael's trial which led to his conviction.

Michael Morton spent 25 years in prison for the 1986 murder of his wife, Christine, while the evidence that could have cleared him sat hidden in evidence on purpose by the very people meant to uphold the law.
