    Great documentary

    Exactly what a documentary should be, tells the facts, but keeps the storyline moving and doesn't get hung up in the details. This case is really unbelievable, sentencing a young man to life in prison with no physical evidence. The fight to appeal the sentence is a commendation to Ferguson's dad and lawyer Zellner. It's a good documentary with interviews and insights, but short and sweet.

    Flaws in the American judicial system

    As an American we live in a system of fairness, against our fellow man and against the government itself, but do we really?

    Justice costs more than the normal person can afford, mostly along such a lengthy trial such as the one shown in this film, and at the end of the day if you encounter a prosecutor trying to make a name for himself in a certain case that works for the state, he doesn't have to worry about the how much it will ultimately cost. More documentaries need to come out about stuff like this allowing huge miscarriages of injustice to exist and expose those like the prosecutor, now judge, of this film

    Kevin Crane is a dirtbag!

    Man ... I just love the simpleness of Ryan's and his father's love for one another!! I hope jail didn't ruin the person he can be!! ... Its heartbreaking to see stuff like this. And a damn shame people like Kevin Crane "thrive" in the world we live in!!

    How is Kevin Crane and the two Detectives not in jail?

    Kevin Crane and the two detectives in this case are the real criminals. They coerced and falsified information against Ryan who was from the start an innocent person. Scumbags at their finest who acted no more than like TV salesman getting a sale over the line with no regard for the law, morality or their primary purpose to treat people as innocent until proven guilty. Crane and his detectives should be sued for $10 million each being $1m per year each for Ryan's wrongful and corrupt imprisonment. They al need to be jailed as they are the true criminals in this case and showing just how much the US legal system is completely corrupt and does not fulfil it's actual charter of accused are innocent until proven guilty. These clowns are let's get another notch on the belt no matter what. Crane and the detectives are a disgrace to their profession and need to be punished if not already. Pathetic humans!!

    What a story

    I cannot believe that the corrput Kevin Crane is still sitting as a judge in Missouri.

    Congrats to Mike and Leslie Ferguson for believing in Ryan.

    And thank God Ryan is such a cool kid to keep calm when life seemed like it was over.

    Godspeed the day that Kevin Crane gets to wear an orange jump suit and shackles.
