Review of Anatomy of a Wrongful Conviction

This is a compelling investigation of a man who spent 10 years in prison for a homicide that he didn't commit . It's investigative, it's dramatic, it's full of great interviews, unsettling realities and it's beautifully edited.
This could be aired on All things Considered, This American Life (although the aesthetics aren't exactly TALish--it shares their sensibilities) Weekend edition or it could be broadcast as part of any series or special that addresses the maladies of the US justice system, socio economic injustices and/or racism.
(Apparently this has a PART II, "Exoneration," so let's hope it is also uploaded to PRX.)
