From the commentary: This is one woman's story, but there are so many others. Since 1989, some 2,991 inmates have been fully exonerated; of those, fewer than 300 are women.

In 40% of the cases where women are cleared — most of them involving accidental injuries to loved ones — the ultimate finding is that no crime occurred.
