VIDEO Netflix The Innocence Files | Official Trailer TV commercial 2020 • Through the lens of The Evidence, The Witness and The Prosecution, The Innocence Files shines a powerful light on the untold personal stories behind eight cases of wrongful conviction that the nonprofit organization the Innocence Project and organizations within the Innocence Network have uncovered and worked tirelessly to overturn. The Innocence Files is executive produced and directed by Academy Award® nominee Liz Garbus, Academy Award® winner Alex Gibney, Academy Award® winner Roger Ross Williams; with episodes also directed by Academy Award® nominee Jed Rothstein, Emmy Award® winner Andy Grieve and Sarah Dowland. 00:00 The reason I'm writing is to ask, "Can you help me?" 00:04 "I am serving a 40 to 60 year sentence. 00:06 As God is my witness, 00:08 I am not guilty." 00:12 We get flooded with letters 00:14 from all over the country. They're human beings 00:16 who are claiming to be wrongly convicted. 00:18 We realized that there were so many things 00:20 wrong with this system, 00:22 so we started the Innocence Project. 00:27 The oath is to seek justice. 00:29 For some people, justice has meant 00:31 maximizing charges, years and convictions. 00:34 Twenty-eight years? My brother thought, 00:36 "No on e's gonna hear me." It's like the coffin is closed. 00:41 This case had no DNA, no fingerprints, 00:44 no gunshot residue. 00:46 I became outraged at how thin the evidence was. 00:49 Twenty years passed after I was convicted. 00:51 Almost 28 years. That's more than half my life. 00:55 Unfortunately, the mentality among too many judges, 00:57 too many district attorneys, is the ends justify the means. 01:00 I think, "Is they gon' ever find 01:02 the proof that I didn't commit this crime?" 01:04 They withheld evidence on purpose 01:07 to get a conviction. Period. 01:10 If we find that the client is innocent, 01:13 we don't stop until we win. 01:14 I never thought this day would come... 01:18 but it's coming. 01:20 -He's coming home. -It's coming. 01:25 I went to prison at the age of 18 01:27 and I didn't see the streets until the age of 46. 01:29 When I got out of jail, I took my shoes off 01:31 and just walked around the yard. 01:33 Twelve years I hadn't touched no grass. 01:37 I wonder what would have happened 01:39 if my incarceration wouldn't be part of my story. 01:42 I wouldn't do this job if I didn't think 01:44 it could be fixed. 01:45 I wanted him to know 01:46 there was someone there fighting for him. 01:48 I think the best thing a lawyer can do with their license 01:52 is get an innocent guy out of prison. - advertisement spot 2020
