Just recently on TAL[0] was a depressingly similar case (from 1980); a kid is accused of a murder he did not commit by a pathological liar (the only "witness"), and who, not seeing the logic in admitting guilt for something he did not do, is therefore not eligible for parole later down the road: [0]https://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/282/diy https://www.thisamericanlife.org/radio-archives/episode/282/... The 15 year old who did commit the murder was actually caught too, and also prosecuted at the same trial, but he would not take his own plea deal, which would have freed the innocent accused. edit: some grammar.
