7:57Now PlayingYodit Tewolde sits down with Tricia Rojo Bushnell, the executive director of the Midwest Innocence Project, on the organization's work to overturn the murder conviction of Lamar Johnson. He is serving life without parole.
The Midwest Innocence Project started working on Johnson's case in 2008. Bushnell breaks down evidence of prosecutorial error and says that evidence emerged since the trial proves Johnson's innocence.
In March, the Missouri Supreme Court dismissed Johnson's appeal for a new trial.
The courts ruled that a motion to vacate Johnson's conviction was filed 24 years too late.
