Episode 6: #9 Charles Raymond & #12 Harry Winters

Making a case for innocence

ABOUT THIS EPISODE: What happens when a case is mishandled, witnesses change their stories, and societal bias and ignorance dictate what justice ought to be? You get a case for innocence. But seldom was guilt questioned during the lawless days of the wild west, and for some, that meant the end of the road—or in this case, at the end of the rope.
