Conviction: The True Story of Clarence Elkins

 

When a man is wrongly convicted of murder and rape, his wife devotes her life to proving his innocence. Conviction is not only a gripping story of justice gone wrong, it’s also a meditation on the role of luck in the criminal justice system. In order for Clarence Elkins to prove his innocence, all of the stars had to align. It’s a story that would be unbelievable if it weren’t true.
