The Case
James King has been sitting in prison for almost 25 years for a rape that he adamantly maintains he did not commit. His conviction strongly relied on the inconsistent and contradictory word of a then 13-year old girl who was allegedly hiding her inappropriate relationship with a neighbor twice her age. Despite the lack of material evidence, changed testimonies for the prosecution, and the credible rebuttal of the state’s expert’s absurd findings, King remains incarcerated, desperately working to establish his innocence. Jason speaks with James King and his attorney, Ian Graham.

They've said that the things that doctor Speaker 2: Barnes testified to but a cleft on the highmen and Speaker 2: things of that nature simply were not there, did not exist.”
