The Sweet Taste of Freedom: The Wrongful Conviction of Evaristo Salas

“Evaristo Salas is a free man. At last.

A jury convicted Salas in 1995 of shooting Jose Arreola twice in the head on a foggy November night. Salas was 15 at the time of the killing and 16 when he was imprisoned.

The case hinged on testimony of a paid police informant who has since recanted his testimony that Salas was bragging around town about the killing; Arreola’s girlfriend at the time, who reportedly told the victim’s mother that she was only able to identify Salas from a photo montage following hypnosis; and evidence that the pickup truck Arreola was shot in was removed from the scene and cleaned before it was processed for evidence.

During his 26 years of imprisonment, Salas has always maintained his innocence.” the stars of ID's hit show, Reasonable Doubt, Detective Chris Anderson and Fatima Silva, Esq. for the podcast that fans have been waiting for.
