Suspect explores the weighty decisions made by prosecutors, judges, and juries in the pursuit of justice. Despite checks and balances, our system remains flawed. The newest season, Five Shots In the Dark, dives into a unique case featuring two victims of the same crime: one was shot five times, the other was sentenced to life.
Leon Benson was convicted of murdering someone he swears he never met. Despite a botched police investigation and a weak case hinging almost exclusively on shaky eyewitness testimony, Benson was sentenced to 60 years in prison. But that wasn’t the end. Decades later, recently discovered evidence supports his claims of innocence. But as he continues his fight for justice, the question remains: will it be enough?
