True Crime
On this week's episode of True Crime New England, Katie and Liz go over the details of the fascinating case of the exoneration of James Tillman. After the brutal attack of a 26-year-old woman in Hartford, Connecticut in January of 1984, eyewitness testimony and perhaps racial bias led to a false accusation. Despite denying any involvement in the assault, James Tillman is convicted of several charges and sent to jail. Tillman attempted to appeal his charges several times, stating there was jury bias and also incorrect witness accounts. Finally, in 2005, the Connecticut Innocence Project picked up James' case and helped him get exonerated of all charges after he spent 18.5 years in jail. Tune in to listen to the humbling story of a man who fought for justice, and the amazing organization that helped it happen.
