Evaristo Salas: The Letter

At just 16 years old, Evaristo Junior Salas was tried as an adult and imprisoned for 33 years for the murder of 24-year-old Jose Arreola, who was gunned down in his truck in front of his girlfriend and newborn baby. Local police couldn't find the killer and the case went cold until a criminal informant identified Salas. For over two decades, Salas has insisted that he is innocent and that the justice system railroaded him. To uncover the truth, a team of leading investigators and legal minds join forces to investigate Salas' claims of wrongful conviction. They travel to the scene of the crime—a small farming town with a history of gang violence—to track down witnesses, examine forensic evidence, and chase leads that the local police never followed up on. Just when the state's case is starting to unravel, a visit to meet Salas in prison throws the whole investigation into question. The Wrong Man team will have to dig deeper to find out if the system really got the wrong man.
