Episode: Dateline: True Crime Weekly with Andrea Canning
It was discussed as a new book by a veteran Dateline producer about wrongful convictions, specifically focusing on six men wrongly convicted of murder. The author detailed how he uncovered evidence of their innocence after years of reporting.
The real shock to me from going to Sing Sing and the reason why I kept going is because I can't believe how many innocent people I found there.
Each man that I feature in the book was convicted of murder. But when I started to look into their cases, I was astonished to find how unbelievably apparent evidence of innocence was in each of those cases.
In the case of Richard Rosario, he had 13 alibi witnesses and he was a thousand miles away in Florida when he was accused of a crime in New York. And he gave police this information and they didn't do anything for 20 years.
Really what ended up happening is that when I started visiting him and getting to know him and his family, I saw how good of a man he was.
It's only two weeks after my book, The Sing Sing Files, comes out that he's being exonerated. If it took him, a guy like that, this much, God help everybody behind him.

He announced that his new book, The Sing Sing Files, expanded his investigations into six innocent men and was larger than his prior episodes, and noted it was available in both print and audio formats.

My book is so much bigger than the stories I told on those episodes and in those podcasts.
In The Sing Sing Files, I'll introduce you to six innocent men, all wrongly imprisoned.
The Sing Sing Files is also available wherever books and audiobooks are sold.
Thank you so much for listening to an excerpt from The Sing Sing Files, written and read by me.
