When a neighbor recognizes the boy and brings him back home, he makes a terrifying discovery: Eric’s mother, Christine, has been murdered. Detectives, and the District Attorney quickly hone in on Michael Morton, Eric’s father and Christine’s husband, as their prime suspect, but several key pieces of evidence are missing and the police aren’t revealing the full story. It will take 25 years, and determined lawyer John Raley, to unlock the hidden memories of a scared little boy, free a wrongfully convicted man, and finally catch Christine’s real killer. -Written, directed & edited by Justin ChalifouxResearched by Tiffany LoxtonVoiceover by William AkanaProduced by Alexandra Salois & Salim Sader-Getty ImagesDetective Diaries: Guilty Until Proven Innocent, Breaklight Pictures & The Content Group, 202160 Minutes: Evidence of Innocence: The Case of Michael Morton, CBS News, 2012An Unreal Dream: The Michael Morton Story, Glass House Productions, 2013Michael Morton Interview, Austin American-Statesman, 2014Morton to be released, KXAN News, 2011Anderson gets 10 days in jail, community service, KXAN News, 2013Mark Norwood found guilty of 2nd murder, sentenced to life, KXAN News, 2016Ex-prosecutor Ken Anderson Jailed 3 Days for Misconduct in Sending Innocent Man to 25 Yrs in Prison, Fox7, 2013Michael Morton Freed in Texas, innocenceproject, 2011
