In 1999, a teen was shot and killed during an argument over tire rims. 3 young men were arrested after an eyewitness identified them. 17 year old Earnest Jackson was the first to go to trial and convicted of first degree murder for being at the scene of the crime. However, in Jackson's codefendant's trial, the shooter confesses to killing the victim and admits that Jackson was not even there and innocent of any crime. The defendant was acquitted of the murder on the basis of self defense. But Jackson's conviction remained and he has been wrongfully convicted for over 20 years. We will also be discussing the SCOTUS decision of Miller v. Alabama.
