This week on life we start out with car wrecked on the side of the road with a woman in it. The woman has been shot by some in the backseat. Charlie wanders around in the woods only to find the husband of the woman out there. It is obvious that he was in the wreck, but he is not in his right mind. He thinks that he is waiting for the valet at a restaurant. When they pull him in for the interview, he seems to have blocked out what happened. It is very interesting to see the amazement he has with modern technology. With a little bit of persuading the husband says he struggled with a carjacker and his wife was shot. So from this point they start to build the time line of the couple on that night using the GPS in the car. The GPS shows that they stopped at a gas station, but the tank of the car was empty. So they go to question the attendant at the gas station. He says they paid for gas but didn’t pump it. He also said that a large latino man with tattoos was around the car. Periodically the show has documentary like interviews about his case. This kind of brings home the facts of the crime he was wrongly convicted for. They find a third set of prints in the car belonging to a Samoan ex-con with a history of carjacking. He has went AWOL on his parole, so Charlie and Dani go hit up his known associates. It turns out that he owes these guys eleven thousand dollars, and they happily tell them where he is at. When they raid his house he hits Crew with a flash bang grenade and starts running. Charlie runs him down, and he pulls a knife on him. He pulls his knife out too creating a stalemate. In the interrogation room he swears the husband shot the wife. So they interview the husband again only to get another story again. This time he gives the full account. The samoan guy tries to carjack them, and the husband tells him that he has ten thousand dollars in a safe at his house. Realizing that their kids are there the wife tries to wrestle the gun away from him. So he shoots her. All that is left is to pin it on the somoan guy. They can’t use the husbands testimony in court because his story has changed so much. This is where his old friends step in and get him to admit it on tape. Check out my last post ‘Impulsive’.
