The Case of George Wells

This case is special. We received a request from a loved one of a man that was convicted of murder back in 2003. They claim he is innocent and has spent the last 20 years falsely imprisoned for someone else's crime. Is this another case of a black man railroaded through the American legal system? Let’s dive into the story and take a closer look at the evidence to judge for ourselves.
