Episode Details

A wrongful arrest lawsuit rocks a December traffic stop gone wrong: Kenny King, a man with hip issues and poor eyesight who couldn’t legally drive, was jailed overnight after being mistaken for a fleeing Black suspect in a black hoodie — despite not being able to run, and despite dash cam footage cutting off at the critical moment. Just over a month later, charges were dropped when prosecutors admitted they couldn’t prove he was the driver. His lawyer says the trooper lacked proper ID training, and body cam footage showed the suspect wore a jacket with writing — not a hoodie — and King was just picking up a store order. This case exposes how flawed identifications and missing evidence can lead to devastating consequences.
