and her friends. she was extremely outgoing. a wonderful life that came to a tragic and on one warm summer night. i hear a very weird scream. her life had ended, but our story was just beginning. her killer hadn t been caught. i remember one detective saying to me, you just have to wait till because again. but the trail grew cold. the file forgotten, until decades later, someone dusted it off. the whole goal of these cases was to try and see the thing that s hiding in plain sight. there were clues. a mysterious weapon made of wire, the wedding invitation, a midnight sale to know where. where they enough to catch a killer? i was 100 percent confident that it was our guy. now, the showdown a determined prosecutor against a famed defense lawyer, who helped set ogs in free. i m on the right side. after 35 years, it was finally time for justice. it s been a long journey. he was alone in his makeshift workshop. had to be, for what he intended. carefully
wait till because again. but the trail grew cold. the file forgotten, until decades later, someone dusted it off. see the thing that s hiding in plain sight. there were clues. a mysterious weapon made of wire, the wedding invitation, a midnight sale to know where. where they enough to catch a killer? i was 100 percent confident now, the showdown a determined prosecutor against a famed defense lawyer, who helped set ogs in free. i m on the right side. after 35 years, it was finally time for justice. it s been a long journey. in this makeshift workshop, had to be for what he intended. carefully, got the lengths of a two of them. just a few inches each, sand them down, joe the whole in each one. he found a piece of wire, he doubled it for strength. his perfect weapon for his perfect crime. outside, in the sunshine, it was the summer of 1979. aides hadn t happened to us to, north of the internet, nor did cell phones, norway to re-dna. all of those
baja, mexico. mexico. it was the right continent? it was a careless estimates that i made. because i did not look at it carefully enough. a careless mistake? maybe. but, john shapiro told the jury it did not change the fact that the prosecution could not, and did not prove that he killed law lynne knight. justice delayed has been justice denied. and he was denied justice. do not judge a man until you walk a mile in his shoes. the prosecution gets the last word, of course. here is the co-counsel ethan. made it from, handheld. it crafted it. fantasized about putting her out of his mind. but ending her life. and finally, john lewin, 35 years of getting away with murder had to end. he s had his trial. it is time, it is time, that he

big putting the case away. why? not you ve been carrying around that baggage all of these years. i want to put it back. on that shelf. now it was time for someone else to carry that burden. the man who carries so much misery in the first place. in december 2014, doug bradford, was back in court one more time to be sentenced for the murder of lynne knight. now wearing a jail suit, not his business suit. but still defiant as ever. as he indignantly address the court. i want you to hear me speak now! very clearly, and not ambiguously, what my family and friends already know. i did not murder lynne knight. on the an innocent man wrongly convicted.
