In this Minisode of The Injustice Files we focus on two cases, that of Freddie Peacock of New York and Laurence Adams of Boston MA
In our first story, we look into the unfortunate case of Freddie Peacock, an intellectually challenged man accused of rape. While he only served five years in prison. The conviction would impair his ability to live a fruitful, fulfilling life and it would be 30 years before DNA evidence revealed the injustice done to Freddie.
In our second story, we look into the case of Laurence Adams of Boston, MA. He was initially implicated in the 1972 murder of a transit worker. He had a possibility of showing his innocence until three members of a family, mother, and brother and sister siblings testified he had admitted to them he killed the transit worker. He remained in prison for 28 years until a new trial revealed evidence of false testimony in his trial.
