It's the late night hours in October, 1995, when a lone gunman storms into a Roanoke, Virginia home, shoots 21-year-old Eric "Nike" Jones in the chest, and flees. A witness at the home of calls police but cannot provide a helpful description of the suspect, and no physical evidence is collected from the scene. But days later, the same witness is shown a police lineup, and identifies 18-year-old Michael Crump as the shooter. After a short trial, Crump is found guilty and sentenced to nearly 40 years in prison. Tune in as Maggie sits down with fellow host of "Wrongful Conviction," Jason Flom, and the two discuss the tragic murder of Eric Jones, the subsequent arrest and abbreviated trial of Michael Crump, and the continued fight for truth.
