They’ll cover this on 48 hours or something with uplifting music at the end and tears in this dude’s eyes as he walks out free finally. 😢🎉🎶
How anyone could buy that a story about an awful crime, some unrelated person losing decades their life to jail, and a perpetrator running free to commit more crimes because nobody involved in the justice system can be bothered to do their fucking job is in any way uplifting is beyond me, but they always frame it that way.
Edit: They’ll also do a softball interview with the DA and/or the cops where they’ll maintain that the person’s guilty and that they had the right guy the whole time.
