What happens when the most important piece of evidence in a murder case is a confession that may have been coerced from a teenager with an IQ of 72? In June 1993, Jessie Misskelley sat alone in an interrogation room for twelve hours. Only forty-six minutes were recorded. What the tape captured was not truth -- it was pressure.

In this episode, we follow the interrogation tape that convicted three teenagers of murdering three eight-year-old boys in West Memphis, Arkansas. Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin, and Jessie Misskelley were sentenced to death and life in prison based on a confession that an expert called a classic example of police coercion. Eighteen years later, DNA evidence showed none of them matched the crime scene.

The West Memphis Three case remains one of the most controversial wrongful conviction stories in American history. The interrogation tape that started it all still exists -- a record of words spoken under pressure in a room where the tape recorder was turned off for most of the time.
