Dr. Phil explains that there have been allegations of misconduct from the prosecutor's office, and the convicted man's family believes that evidence was hidden, and key witnesses were not called to testify in his case.
The family joins Dr. Phil on stage, and they share their side of the story. They describe their loved one as a kind and honest man who could never have committed such a heinous crime. They state that the evidence used to convict him was circumstantial and that there was no physical evidence tying him to the murder.
