“Guilty until proven Innocent.” It
is December of 1989 at Hammond, Indiana. Police track a recurring
crime, “bump and rob.” If a female is driving alone. Her car is
bumped, robbed and raped by men. A single white female was driving
home alone. She was bumped by another car. She got out of her own car and
was abducted by five black men. They had raped her while a pair of
work coveralls covered her face. Police then arrested five black
men. Criminal charges were aimed at only Roosevelt and Darrell. DNA
testing was so new that prosecutors called it unreliable. Both men
were convicted and sent to prison. Law students studied the case and
had the DNA re-tested. Would a judge over turn their convictions?
