22:06Now PlayingDavid Milgaard is no angel, a high school dropout who likes to party. But the 17-year-old swears he’s not a killer, even after his 1969 conviction for the rape and murder of nursing aide Gail Miller. His mother Joyce believes him — and starts working to prove it.
Host Falen Johnson and journalist Laura Lynch tell the epic tale of R. v. Milgaard. We hear about Milgaard's life in the bowels of a notorious prison, and how his mom upends her small-town Saskatchewan life to hunt for clues about the real killer.
This episode is Part 1 of two.
