In this episode, Shaun and John continue the case of Gary Dotson, the first person to be exonerated through the use of DNA evidence. The episode delves into Gary's background, including his troubled upbringing, and brushes with the law. In 1977, Gary was accused of rape by Cathleen Crowell. Despite having a seemingly solid alibi, Gary was convicted and sentenced to two consecutive prison terms of 25-50 years.
What happened when in 1985, Cathleen came forward and said she made the whole thing up? Shaun and John detail the complications and smear campaign that followed Cathleen's recantation.
