When a brutal murder rocks a small Southern town, residents and police are shocked. Could the new guy in town be the one who who did it? Yes, the cops say, he is. Case solved. But then another murder happens. And another. In the end: four bodies, two convictions, and one man in jail for a crime he likely did not commit. Welcome to Murderville, Georgia.

But then, that's the media isn't it.

Prosecutors only care about convictions and investigators only care about closing cases. The legal system has very little to do with justice.

Macon's had 40 homicides this year (highest since the 1930's) and I don't think anyone is in jail.

Adel has way bigger fish to fry with speeders on I-75. They don't have time to actually investigate a crime or miscarriage of justice.
