At the age of 16 Sean O'Brien was wrongfully charged and convicted of felony murder, a crime he had nothing to do with. Accused by the two young men who did commit the crime in an effort to protect their friend, the third person involved in the crime. No physical evidence, changing testimony of the other two men, Sean's rock solid alibi and a time line that made it impossible for Sean to have been at the scene of crime was not enough to save him in a justice system that cares not about truth. Listen as Sean's wife Emelia takes us through the details of the case. You will be left wondering how someone like this could happen. Sadly it happens all too often.
