A Gun, a Lie, and a Timeline

In this episode, we follow the physical evidence—or the lack of it—that should have been central to the case. We dig into the story of the alleged murder weapon, a gun that was reportedly stolen six days after the shooting. We examine the police’s failed attempt to connect it to the crime through a bullet fragment given to them by a victim’s mother. The entire narrative of the crime, built on contradictory witness statements and a flawed timeline, starts to unravel. We show how a case can be built on a foundation of contradictions and a lack of forensic evidence, and how a man can be convicted when the most important piece of the puzzle is missing.
