A knock on the door. An innocent person handcuffed. And the shocking mistakes that led police to arrest the wrong suspect.

In this frustrating true crime episode, we uncover cases where law enforcement got it horribly wrong — arresting innocent people while the real criminals walked free.

Through investigative analysis, courtroom testimony, and expert commentary, this episode explores what happens when the system fails, how innocent lives are torn apart, and what it takes to finally clear their names.
