Wrongful Conviction: False Confessions - Billy Wayne Cope
S10E9: Billy Wayne Cope - Could I have somehow done this and not remembered it? Laura Nirider and Steve Drizin bring us the story of Billy Wayne Cope- a father and husband, a man of faith and one of many railroaded into a false confession. The interrogation techniques were so potent, Billy even started questioning his own memory. Though DNA evidence pointed to the real killer, prosecutors refused to acknowledge Billy's innocence. This case will stay with you. It certainly left a mark on Steve.
