警方:94岁老妇Leola Shreves在家中被发现遇害,现场惨状表明凶手手段残忍。通过调查走访,邻居证言,以及对主要嫌疑人Michael Alexander的审问,警方最终认定其为凶手。但后续的DNA检测结果显示,案发现场的DNA并不属于Michael Alexander,而是属于另一人。 尽管如此,警方仍然坚持Michael Alexander的口供,并最终将其逮捕。在长达三年半的监禁后,由于缺乏证据,检察官撤销了对Michael Alexander的所有指控。 之后,警方利用基因系谱学技术,最终锁定了真正的凶手Armando Arias Cuadras,并通过其丢弃的葵花籽提取DNA,确认其与案发现场DNA匹配。Armando Arias Cuadras承认参与了谋杀案,但声称自己喝醉了,误把受害者当成了男人。 最终,Armando Arias Cuadras被判犯有一级谋杀罪,并被判处终身监禁,不得假释。 Michael Alexander:我从未杀害Leola Shreves,我是在警方的诱导下做出的虚假供词。我被错误地指控,并被关押了三年半,这对我的人生造成了巨大的伤害。 Armando Arias Cuadras:我承认我参与了这起谋杀案,但我当时喝醉了,并且我误认为受害者是一个男人。 Leola Shreves的家人:任何惩罚都不能弥补失去Leola Shreves的痛苦。 检察官:由于缺乏足够的证据,我们撤销了对Michael Alexander的指控。但我们相信Armando Arias Cuadras是凶手,他应该为自己的罪行负责。 主播:这个案件中,既有Leola Shreves这位无辜的受害者,也有Michael Alexander这位被错误指控的受害者。DNA证据和基因系谱学最终解决了此案,但案件中暴露出的警方的执法问题,以及Michael Alexander所遭受的不公正待遇,都值得我们深思。
