Good evening and we start here tonight with an incredible reversal of fortune for one man sentenced to nearly three decades in jail for murdering his coworker. Abcs ryan smith has been following this case for years and when a Bombshell Development changed everything, our cameras were right there as an innocent man walked free. Reporter the first time i met mario kasharo was inside menard correctional center, one of the toughest maximum Security Prisons in the country. Can you make it 26 years in here . I dont want to. I dont want to sit every day thinking about how did i get here . Reporter the College Graduate with a Bright Future a convicted murderer. Shackled and chained to the floor. Mario was locked up for killing 17yearold brian care rick, wrongfully convicted, he said. Are you responsible in any way for his death . No. Reporter his family determined to prove his innocence. There was no physical evidence, no dna. Reporter hired powerhouse attorney Kathleen Zellner. The prosecutors overreached extraordinarily to get this conviction. Reporter kathleen said the state was dead wrong from the start. And in reviewing the evidence readily available she became convinced she knew the identity of the real killer and was determined to set mario free. This will just be reversed outright. Reporter its part of a twisted murder mystery thats haunted the small village of johnsburg, illinois, for more than 12 years. Winter 2002, 19yearold mario was working at his fathers grocery store, vals foods. Five days before christmas one of the stock boys, brian care rick, walked into the store looking for a coworker and was never seen again. Holy mary, mother of god reporter his body never found. His mother terry heartbroken. The torture of not knowing where he is, every parents worst nightmare. Reporter authorities found traces of blood in and around the produce cooler. Suspecting foul play, they questioned everyone. Including three stock boys. Shane lam, ron render, and mario kasharo, but quickly turned their attention to the boss son, mario. Completely shocked. Marios one of the nicest just a sweetheart. Reporter cops were beginning to develop a more sinister profile as brians father William Kerik would share with the local reporter. Mario allegedly was selling dope. And i think he cowearsed my son into working for him. Reporter mario admitted to sometimes selling pot. But denied ever running a drug ring. I would i guess sell people pot out of my personal stash. It wasnt anything that i ever it wasnt a criminal enterprise. Reporter authorities were convinced that brian was killed over a 400 or 500 drug debt. But with no eyewitnesses or a body, the case went cold. Over the next eight years, mario would graduate from college. Take the reins of the family business. Brians disappearance a distant and painful memory. Until an eyewitness came forward hit brian a few times. Reporter with a tale of violence from the produce cooler. Bleeding from his mouth, fell out. How hard . Knocked him out. Reporter shane lam, one of the stock boys. He previously denied knowing anything about brians disappearance but now that he was in jail facing up to 12 years on drug charges he had a story to tell. In exchange for a deal and full immunity on the crime against brian shane recalled how mario wanted him to help settle a debt. Went over there. Told brian, whats up with the money you owe him . Pay him money back. We got to arguing. Mario said it was getting too loud. Go in the produce cooler. Reporter thats when shane said things turned violent. He said he knocked brian unconscious and then mario told him to leave the cooler. He said, go away, ill handle this. I left, went back to the party. Reporter in Court Prosecutors downplayed the blood evidence and focused on marios role as the mastermind to shanes muscle. Though shane says mario never laid a hand on brian, prosecutors insipsed he was guilty of the rare charm of murder with intimidation. By uttering the words talk to him they say mario was responsible for everything that followed, including brians murder. The strategy worked and mario was sentenced to 26 years. His family determined to set him free. Were going to fight to the very end because were 100 behind him. Reporter attorney Kathleen Zellner says you only have to look at the crime scene to know the real killer is not mario or shane. We know that rob render and Brian Carrick had an altercation because both their blood is at the crime scene. Reporter brians blood in the hallway, robs bloody fingerprint on the cooler door handle and inside the door more of rob renders blood. Evidence kathleen says the state all but ignored at trial. When police asked rob why so much of his blood was found near the cooler cut my finger, who knows. Maybe i bit my nail so bad that it bled a little bit. Theres no way that this amount of blood could have been left by rob render biting his nails. Reporter for kathleen, there was motive. Brian turned in rob for stealing booze, demanded monoed him for pot, and a new witness. What did this new witness say . Said that remembereder had made a statement to him just a week before brian disappeared that he was very angry with brian and that he was going to jump him. With a weapon. Reporter that matched her version of events. Kathleen said the fatal blow wasnt from a punch, as shane lam said, but from a knife. I believe that render comed up behind him like this and cuts his throat. Reporter render was never called to testify. After years of struggling with drug addiction, he overdosed in 2011. Mindy lindholm, robs older sister, passionately defends her brother. The premise that my brother could have possibly killed brian over 30 or over him telling on him or anything as ridiculous, my brother having an explosive temper is absolutely ridiculous. Im sure prosecutors will say this is a classic case of blaming the dead guy. Doesnt mean dead guys didnt commit murders. The only person that owes money to Brian Carrick is render. The only person whos ever described wanting to jump him with a weapon is render. The only person in that back hallway is render. Reporter another bombshell. The states star witness, shane lam, whose testimony put mario behind bars made a shocking aboutface. All of it was false. Every single thing. The state set it up. They said id be indicted for murder if i didnt cooperate. Reporter in a statement to abc news, the Prosecutors Office denied coaching shane lam out of the presence of his lawyer, calling it unworthy of belief, untrue, and farfetched. But shanes recantatation combined with confess evidence against mario amounted to a powerful appeal of marios murder conviction. Last week the Appellate Court of illinois reversed the decision. A panel of judges slammed the prosecutions case, calling their theory unreasonable, improbable, and unsatisfactory. Two years into his 26year sentence mario walked out of prison a free man. Greeted by a busload of cheering family members and friends. How does it feel to be free . Amazing. Its an amazing feeling. Reporter the prosecutors can appeal but marios attorney kathleen says their case is air tight. He will never spend another day behind bars. Never. This things over. I think the decision clearly says that they helped fabricate evidence against mario. Reporter we reached out to the Prosecutors Office but they declined to comment. Newly freed, mario says hes grateful to his family and his legal team and shares his new dream. A one, a three, a fiveyear plan, maybe. One would be, to be in law school a year from now. Three, to be finished. Five, to be a state legislator. Reporter hoping to right the wrongs others may face. I want to try and prevent this from happening again. And again and again. Reporter for nightline, ryan smith, abc news, new york. Next, it started with Justin Bieberinspired videos on social media. Now hes actually on tour with taylor swift.

When a young man named sean mendes first started posting videos of his Justin Bieber cover songs on the internet, he never expected that one of them would go viral and that hed soon become a pop star in his own right. Tonight mendes lets abcs Chris Connelly into the whirl wind his life has now become. Reporter the seen screams of young female pop music fans may be familiar i hope you enjoy the show, guys. Reporter the face and the name that theyre screaming for may not.

Dy sound as nervous as i was . I hate speaking. I suck at speaking. Stick to guitar. Today is nuts. Just won a teen choice award, now going to play at the greek . Pretty cool. Reporter performing with big beats, dance moves, or hightech production, mendes is refreshingly old school. Yet his rise has everything to do with social media. And its ability to mint new music stars at warp speed. Could you have done it without a vine, a facebook . To be honest i dont think i would have had the confidence to step in the street and start singing. Reporter two years ago sean mendes had never sung a pop song outside his home in pickering, ontario. Hed grown fascinated by hits on youtube, the same diy efforts that got Justin Bieber noticed. So intrigued with the fact that someone could take a popular song and make it their own. And that on top of that, people could like that more than the original. When you start thinking, that could be me . I could try that . I had one friend and she was like, i know you sing, why dont you try it, post it . Reporter which he did. Not only on youtube, as bieber had, but on facebook and on vine. Its just so unique at the time. You know, no one was doing that. I didnt do it to become famous, i didnt do it to get recognition. I just did it for fun. Reporter until one day in august 2013, when he posted six seconds of himself singing biebers hit as long as you love me. It was an overnight smash. Was that frightening when it blew up . Totally. Like, i dont want that. That scare med. I cant do this. A couple of days went by. My friends were like, dude, you realize that your following keeps going up . Youre at 15,000. Im like, maybe i should do something about this. I went back on and posted a lot more. Reporter engagingly unpolished in his many clips, his sister aaliyah as his sidekick. Youll never get your blessing till the day i die reporter sean became a vine sensation. Weird having people online thinking im a superstar. Then going to school and everyone treating me so normal. A weird complex. Reporter island signed him last year. He left town and hit the road. Be the life of the party as soon as i signed to the label everything came off. Life of the party went to number one. Things got crazy. Reporter on a torrid pace of Live Performance and promotion hes been opening for taylor swift. She got me on stage and had 60,000 people sing happy birthday to me which was nuts. So nervous, my heart was pounding. Reporter he heeded the counsel of his greatest musical ininfluenza, ed sheer han, whose career got a boost from opening for taylor swift. He said to me, do everything. He said, do everything. Go to every radio station, meet everybody, do everything. Why not . This is how you do an awards show and an actual show in the same day. Coffee. Reporter its a life so uncommon that, despite since denied reports that hes dating camilla caballo from the vocal group fifth harmony, he admits to personal isolation. Its true. Feeling lonely in a crowded room is one of the realest things i can think of. It kind of happens. No matter how many people are around you. Sometimes you dont know those people at all. I guess thats my question. Who can possibly understand what your last two years have been like . I dont know. Justin timberlake . Maybe when he was my age . Reporter even now, mendes is so green that he has no preshow ritual. Im going to chal by myself for an hour, bye, love you. Reporter and still gets anxious alongside his pop music peer group. To this day i get nervous in front of taylor and ive been on tour with her for weeks. I cant be calm in front of her. Breathe a little bit, put it together. It doesnt work. Shes taylor swift.
