The Last 12 Weeks - Ep. 2

In this episode, the focus is on the case of David Wood, who is facing execution for a series of murders. The prosecution's case is primarily based on circumstantial evidence, with no direct proof linking Wood to the crimes. Key pieces of evidence include fibers found at his apartment and witness testimonies, but the defense is working hard to unravel this. The lead attorney, Greg Warchuk, has been trying to prove Wood's innocence by investigating additional suspect leads and testing old evidence, particularly DNA that has not previously been matched to Wood. As the lawyers explore new potential evidence, including a woman claiming her father might be the real killer, the situation becomes increasingly dire as the execution date looms. The episode highlights the challenges of navigating within a flawed legal system, including the pressure from law enforcement that arguably led to tunnel vision in identifying Wood as the main suspect. The dynamics between the legal team and their sources reveal the complexities and emotional toll of seeking justice and the true story behind a wrongful conviction.
