Episode Details

In November 2001, Columbia, Missouri, a sports editor was strangeled and beaten in the carpark of his workplace. With little forensic evidence and no leads, the case went cold – until 2 years later, when a teenager claimed responsibility for the crime and, in the process, implicated one of his friends. Both were subsequently imprisoned for murder – but had the right men been convicted, or had there been a miscarriage of justice? This is what happens when a prosecutor will do whatever it takes to win, regardless of the cost. This is the case of Ryan Ferguson.
