Episode Description
19+ years in prison! “Franky Carrillo was convicted of a 1991 murder based on identification testimony from six people, including the victim’s son. All six have now admitted they did not really see anything and were influenced to make their identifications of Carillo. In addition two other men have confessed to the shooting and said Carrillo was not involved … the eyewitness who was the first to implicate Carrillo back in 1991 took the witness stand and apologized to Carrillo, saying he was willing to accept punishment for what he had done because he knew that it was wrong and that he had stolen the life of an innocent man…” (Santa Clara Law News & Events). Maitreya Badami, attorney with the Northern California Innocence Project will join Franky to tell of his long journey toward exoneration.
