"Forty-three years after being convicted of murder and attempted murder, Clifford Wiliiams and his nephew, Nathan Myers, walked out of prison in Florida as free men. Despite 40 witnesses who saw the men elsewhere and forensic evidence contrary to the one eyewitness who placed them at the crime scene, the men were sentenced to life in prison. Journalist Horovitz digs into how they ended up there and how, decades later, they were exonerated. In the process, he also weaves in the story of Florida's first Conviction Integrity Review unit in Jacksonville. As almost accidental pioneers, the group faced its own challenges navigating the case, especially one from so far in the past. Horovitz succeeds in pulling the thread of this tale of post-conviction justice in a straightforward and balanced way. He doesn't shy away from Wiliams' known past as a criminal or the criticism the unit faced, but he also explores how the men changed in prison and the questionable tactics used by their original attorneys.
