October 31, 1981: 76 year old nun Sister Tadea Benz was brutally raped, mutilated and murdered while sleeping in her quarters at the St. Francis convent. Her accused killer: 17 year old Johnny Frank Garrett, a mentally-handicapped teen who maintained his innocence from the moment of his arrest right up to the moment of execution. Sixteen years later, evidence proving Garrett's innocence would surface, and the key figures in the trial would be exposed as bloodthirsty zealots whose desperate search for a scapegoat led them to seal an innocent man's fate on death row. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi
