41
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,800
Speaker 3: and murder of an elderly woman. The case sent twenty

42
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 3: year old Anthony Wright to prison for more than two

43
00:02:32,680 --> 00:02:37,639
Speaker 3: decades until DNA evidence cleared him. Despite that, prosecutors retried

44
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:41,320
Speaker 3: him in twenty sixteen, relying on a written confession. Police

45
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:45,760
Speaker 3: say he gave voluntarily, but during testimony, Devlin struggled to

46
00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:48,960
Speaker 3: recreate the nine page statement he claimed to have written

Speaker 3: men lied about the confession, DNA evidence, and key details

52
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:15,519

58
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:40,119
Speaker 3: Sumner tells US, the decision is drawing criticism from advocates

61
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:49,040

00:03:49,160 --> 00:03:52,920

00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,280

68
00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 2: the perpetrators were teachers, coaches, or counselors. Advocates argue the

69
00:04:13,600 --> 00:04:18,440
Speaker 2: decision unfairly burdened survivors, as trauma often impairs memory. Jessica
