The ever-aging 40-year-old mind is continuing to fail so I must turn to fellow my UM fans for help.

This was a Final Appeal case. About a mentally challenged man who was sent to jail for murder (I think). It wasn't the Johnny Lee Wilson case (I thought that was it until I watched it.) I remember at the end when this man was finally set free, he was sitting inside the courtroom, sitting in a chair, smiling. He was older by then. Can't remember how long he was in prison but seemingly a long time. Focused on how he was supported his mother throughout it all (perhaps even a grandmother, hence my confusion with the JLW case.)

I know the details are thin but people have always come through on here with much better memories than me.

If you have a hint, I'll google the name and see if that's the one I'm thinking of.

Thanks!

Sounds like John Purvis who was convicted and sentenced for the murder of Susan Hamwii. Purvis was exonerated in 1993.

That's it! Thank you.
