During his prolific career in law enforcement, Peter Forcelli has made over one thousand arrests. Yet at the same time, he has also been involved in the exoneration of eight people wrongfully convicted of crimes they did not commit. One of those individuals was a man Peter helped to arrest who always maintained his innocence. When Peter reinvestigated the case, he found evidence that proved those claims. Retired ATF Deputy Assistant Director and former NYPD Homicide Detective Peter Forcelli reviews the wrongful conviction of Edward Garry. He discusses the sensitivity of the justice system and explains why these problems persist today.
