The Wrongful Conviction of Evaristo Salas

50 min • 4 oktober 2023

Evaristo Salas Junior was just 16 when he was sent to an adult men’s prison convicted of the murder of Jose Arreola in 1995. 

But in the nearly three decades since his conviction, the evidence has been re-examined in great detail. Cracks, lies and omissions have been uncovered by journalists and documentary makers alike, leading to Evaristo's exoneration and release in August of this year. 

So how did this happen? How did the justice system fail him so monumentally, and why did it take so long to get him out?
