Sex Offender Set Free After Claims of Innocence | Episode 28: Watkins

_The truth will set you free…_

On May 26th, 2003, a 48-year-old woman was sexually assaulted in the quiet suburb of Gilbert, Arizona.

Police began questioning their main suspect, 20-year-old John Kenneth Watkins, implicating him with fingerprints they claimed were discovered at the scene and with a failed voice stress test they claimed identified him as well.

The coerced confession they got from Watkins after 4 hours of interrogation would ultimately lead to his exoneration after spending 14 years in prison with help from the Arizona Justice Project.

But what happened next would put into question police interrogation tactics, the justice system, and the sick truth John Watkins was hiding all along…
