In the summer of 1995, 21-year-old single mom Christine Bunch was living in a trailer in

Greensburg, Indiana, with her three-year-old son, Tony.

In the early morning hours of July 30, an electrical fire began between the roof and the ceiling

tiles.

When the fire caused one of the ceiling tiles to fall in Tony's bedroom, a cloud of carbon

monoxide gas killed the little boy before the fire even could.

Christine awoke in a carbon monoxide haze, desperately trying to save Tony.

After failed attempts at extinguishing the fire, she ran for help.

Then, she smashed Tony's bedroom window, but it was too late.

She was barefoot, homeless, and deep in despair.

Arson, investigator, Brian Frank, used what is widely now known as junk science to point

the blame for Tony's death squarely at Christine.

So six days after losing her three-year-old boy and nearly everything she ever had, Christine

lost her freedom as well.

With no potential alibi or eyewitnesses, the state easily sealed Christine's vague with

the testimony of Brian Frank and ATF forensic analyst William Cunard.

Christine gave birth to her son Trent just a few months after being sent to prison, and

a decade passed before her attorney and a team from the center on Ronpoch convictions

at Northwestern University uncovered an egregious Brady violation and blatantly false testimony,

freeing Christine after 17 years, one month, and 16 days behind bars.

This is Ronpoch eviction with Jason Flamme.
