Kim explores the implications of the burglary ring on Kevin's case, including a threat that, per police reports, was made against Rudel Chatman and the credibility of the police that investigated the ring. The recorded threat that Rodney Melton made was not reported to Kevin's defense counsel before or during his trial.
