On the 28th of April 1984, 24-year-old Denice Haraway was abducted from a convenience store in Ada, Oklahoma. Within six months, Two local men, Karl Fontenot and Tommy Ward would confess to her murder. There was no physical evidence, confusing witness identifications and the two men's confessions did not align. Both Karl and Tommy were sentenced to death. Decades later exculpatory evidence that was kept from the men's defence teams, was finally handed over. One man is now free, and the other Man's fight for freedom continues.
