Synopsis
1991, Donald Sarpy is murdered outside of his home; six witnesses are unable to provide clarity and crucial evidence of the killer. One of the witnesses — under the pressure from Lynwood Sherrif's Department — identifies then 16 year old Carrillo in a Police line-up; he is sentenced to life in prison. In 2011, with help from the Innocence Project, Carrillo petitions the State of California and is successful — his conviction is overturned.
