In the above excerpt from "Second Chance Kids," go inside the parole hearing that will decide Rolon’s fate. Watch as Rolon and his legal team argue for his release after 18 years, and as the family of Bobby Botelho -- his victim -- argues against it. As other juvenile offenders across the country await their potential re-sentencing, the documentary asks tough questions about crime and punishment in America, and what happens when some offenders are given a second chance.
“Second Chance Kids” premieres Tues. May 2nd at 10 p.m. EST / 9 p.m. CST on PBS and online
