Show Notes
In July 1997, 18-year-old Michelle Moore-Bosko was found murdered in her Norfolk, Virginia apartment. Investigators quickly obtained confessions from four young Navy sailors after lengthy interrogations — despite inconsistencies in their statements and DNA evidence that did not match them. A year later, the DNA identified another man, Omar Ballard, who confessed and said he acted alone. The case would become one of the most well-known false confession and wrongful conviction cases in modern U.S. history.
