Sherman Townsend was sentenced to 20 years in prison for a burglary he swore he had no part in. A decade later, the chief witness who identified him came forward and claimed he was the true perpetrator. He said he pointed Sherman out to avoid getting caught. So why is Sherman still carrying the conviction for that crime?

Record of Wrong is a KARE 11 podcast that delves deep into the world of the criminal justice system, from the perspective of the people appealing their convictions. This six-part series hosted by KARE 11's Emily Haavik examines the towering obstacles to prove innocence after conviction, and the burden those people carry long after they have been freed.
