播音员:本集讲述了1978年华盛顿特区发生的双重谋杀案,17岁的Santae Tribble和20岁的Cleveland Wright被控犯下此案。案件的关键证据是John McCormick案发现场发现的一根头发,被FBI鉴定为Tribble的头发。然而,Ronald Willis和Bobby Jean Phillips等证人的证词前后矛盾,控辩双方围绕证据的可信度展开激烈辩论。最终,Tribble在John McCormick案中被判有罪,Wright在William Horne案中被判有罪。两人均被判处20年到无期徒刑。 在服刑多年后,基于DNA检测技术的发展,对案件证据进行重新检测,结果显示,此前被认定为Tribble头发的证据并非来自人类,而是来自狗的毛发。这一结果推翻了之前的鉴定结论,Tribble和Wright最终获得平反,并获得巨额赔偿。此案也暴露了早期毛发分析技术的局限性和不准确性,以及证人证词的可信度问题。 Santae Tribble: 我坚持认为自己无罪,我没有参与任何谋杀案。警方在审讯过程中存在不正当行为,证人证词不可靠,而基于显微镜下的毛发比对技术本身就存在缺陷,导致了我的错误定罪。我为维护自己的清白而斗争了多年,最终真相大白,但这段经历给我的人生带来了不可磨灭的伤害。 Cleveland Wright: 我同样坚持自己的清白,我没有参与任何谋杀案。我与Santae Tribble是朋友,但我们与这两起谋杀案毫无关系。错误的指控和漫长的牢狱生涯给我带来了巨大的痛苦和损失。 Ronald Willis: 我最初的证词并不准确,我的证词受到了压力和诱导。我为我的错误证词给Tribble和Wright带来的伤害感到后悔。 Bobby Jean Phillips: 我提供的关于两人出售枪支的信息是真实的,但我对两人是否参与谋杀案的证词存在不确定性。 FBI取证人员:我们当时的毛发分析技术有限,基于显微镜下的比对结果存在一定的主观性,这可能导致了错误的结论。如今,DNA检测技术已经发展成熟,可以提供更准确的证据。

Chapters
This chapter introduces the case of Sante Tribble, a 17-year-old arrested for a double murder in Washington D.C. in 1978. Despite his denial, he was convicted based on forensic evidence, specifically hair analysis, which later proved to be flawed.

Shownotes Transcript

#134 - In July 1978, two middle-aged white men were gunned down in their Washington D.C neighborhood. A few weeks after their murders, two men were arrested in connection with the shootings, 17-year-old Santae Tribble and his friend, 20-year-old Cleveland Wright. Although both men denied involvement in the crimes, Washington D.C. police and prosecutors believed they had enough forensic evidence to secure convictions. Tribble and Wright were convicted in the shootings after hair analysis testimony argued that Tribble's hair was found at one of the crime scenes. But years into their prison sentences, questions began to arise about whether the right people for the murders were behind bars. If forensic science can convict someone, can the same evidence also be used to acquit someone?
