It was 1985 in Queens, New York. Nathan Blenner would be abducted from the front of his home as he was shoved into his own car. Witnesses statements claimed that two Black men were seen in the neighborhood. Then Nathan was found in a park in Brooklyn and two men were brought in to be questioned. They were not arrested but instead, pointed the finger to two other boys, they were 16. David McCallum and Willie Stuckey would be charged with murder and sentenced to life. However, there was much more to this story than anyone knew, except for the investigators that is. 29 years later, with the help of another wrongfully convicted man named Rubin "Hurricane" Carter, David would be released. These two 16 year old boys had grown up in prison for a crime they didn't commit. The reason question now is, what really happened?
