| Description: |
| In May 1992, Roger Keith Coleman was executed by the state of Virginia for the rape and murder of his sister in law, Wanda McCoy. For years after his death, Coleman’s supporters battled to exonerate him and deliver a strong blow to the death penalty. Finally, after 14 years, the governor of Virginia ordered a posthumous DNA test. The results shocked the nation, confirming to a certainty of one in nineteen million that Coleman was guilty. In this special A&E documentary, go behind the scenes to uncover Coleman’s past and learn about his various efforts to convince his supporters that he was the victim of a monumental injustice. Finally, witness the moment of truth for Jim McCloskey, Coleman’s principal advocate for several years, as cameras capture the instant he learns the astonishing DNA results. |
