| Summary | This story from the San Francisco Bay Guardian investigates the conviction of two people who had spent more than a decade behind bars. The reporter found out that the police department had withheld evidence in the trial including eye witness testimony that absolved them of the crime. Backed by this investigation and re-opening of the case, the two were released from prison after thirteen years in prison. |
