旁白：本集讲述了莱德尔·格兰特被错误指控谋杀的案件。2010年，28岁的亚伦·谢霍恩在休斯顿一家夜总会外被刺死，有多名目击者。警方根据目击证词和莱德尔·格兰特的犯罪前科，将其锁定为嫌疑人。尽管DNA证据无法确定莱德尔·格兰特为凶手，但由于多名目击证人指认，他被判处终身监禁。然而，在后续的调查中，通过先进的DNA检测技术——概率基因分型，最终确定了真正的凶手杰里米科·卡特，莱德尔·格兰特被无罪释放，并获得赔偿。本案反映了目击证词的不确定性和DNA证据在司法中的重要性，也凸显了冤假错案的发生以及平反的艰难。莱德尔·格兰特案历经十年，最终获得平反，这不仅是对其个人权利的维护，也对司法公正具有重要的警示意义。
