In 1986, David McCallum was 16 years old when he found himself alone, arrested, and interrogated by veteran Brooklyn homicide detectives. They told him he was the prime suspect, along with his friend Willie Stuckey, in the murder of a young man named Nathan Blenner. They falsely told him that Stuckey had implicated him and said that David was the principle one behind the crime. Responding to pressure and relying on false promises that he would be freed if he confessed, David told a story that implicated Stuckey and himself. Even though he would quickly recant the confession and insist on going to trial, his trial lawyer barely put up a defense, failing to make an opening statement or even cross-examine critical witnesses. Since his conviction, David has been frantically trying to find the evidence that would establish his innocence once and for all. His desperate cry for help was heard by none other than Dr. Rubin “Hurricane” Carter, the internationally recognized expert in the field of wrongful conviction. Dr. Carter has since assembled a team of renown legal and investigative experts to help in David’s plight. There was no physical evidence, no weapon, no identification testimony –nothing – connecting David or Willie to this crime. Willie Stuckey has since died in prison and David remains wrongfully incarcerated. The team has already uncovered leads and physical evidence ignored or passed up by the NYPD.
