194 - Mistaken Identity
A woman shot during a robbery identifies a 16-year-old named "Terence" as her assailant. With no physical evidence linking Terence Garner to the crime, the North Carolina teenager was convicted mainly on the basis of the victim's testimony. Just days after he's convicted, a 24-year-old man named "Terrance" confesses to the crime. We'll see how this case raises serious doubts about the reliability of eyewitness testimony and disturbing cracks in the American justice system.
