157 - Shotgun Justice
The bizarre story of Michael Pardue, an Alabama man imprisoned on three murder charges, who escaped from prison three times and was recaptured. Pardue's murder convictions were eventually overturned, but he still couldn't be freed--he'd been given a life sentence under Alabama's "three strikes" law for his escapes. Ultimately, in February 2001, Michael's final sentence was overturned and he was released after nearly 30 years behind bars.
