Wrong Place at the Wrong Time

Sometimes people end up in the wrong place at the wrong time. In this episode, Prof. Hirsch recounts a harrowing case involving a late night assault on a police officer in New York City. The police apprehended a young man on a nearby street who later confessed to beating the cop with a baseball bat. But numerous inconsistencies in the testimony of various officers and questionable aspects of the man's confession cast doubt on his guilt.
