Summary
Between them, John Kinsel and Dusty Turner lost 59 years. John went in on a child's testimony that the child herself recanted under oath in open court ...and still sat in that Louisiana prison for 19 more years while the system looked the other way. Dusty went in because his swim buddy committed a murder, blamed him for it, and then confessed on tape in 2002. A judge declared Dusty innocent in 2008. The state appealed two days later. Tonight, for the first time, Dr. Phil talks directly to John... the prison never allowed it before. And he follows up with Dusty, who walked out in March and was back behind bars six weeks later on a parole violation he says was an honest mistake. These two men missed 9/11, iPhones, social media, streaming ...nearly everything that defines modern life. What they're finding out now is that surviving the system was only half the battle. Jason Flom is back, too because this fight doesn't end at the prison gate.
