Im surprised there wasn't already a thread about this. Everyone is talking about it on my Twitter and Facebook feeds. It's a documentary series about a man in Wisconsin who went to jail for rape even though there was no physical evidence he was involved. He was in jail for 18 years before a DNA test proved it wasn't him and he was released.
He had a lawsuit that was going very well due to the unusual way law enforcement handled the case. Before the civil suit could be wrapped up he was arrested by the same police officers for murder. The circumstances behind this case were also very suspect.
After watching it all I'm still not sure whether he actually committed the murder or not. Either way it's an interesting look at how the criminal justice system is stacked against a person as soon as they are accused even though they are supposed to be assumed innocent until proven guilty.
