one of the first things h did was reach out to the other man convicted of this crime, they were also imprisoned. i interviewed lamar alice who actually stabbed rya watkins, i interviewed fernandez, who - both said johnny was not hughes also watch the original interrogation videos, and for the first time, he saw how that other suspect tol cots that hincapie and another team we re not at the crim scene. they ll needed money? no, johnny and kevin left he was wasn t free, especially when he heard the suspects say a second time tha hincapie was not involved. so there were eight peopl surrounding no, there was six six, okay the law a team in cap ea journey never saw. the more investigated it, the more i can t believe tha he might be telling the truth.
