Aflevering Wrongful Conviction With Jason Flom - Eric Riddick

On November 6th, 1991, William Catlett was shot and killed on a street corner in West Philadelphia. Nearly all eyewitnesses identified a man named Edward “P-nut” Johnson as the shooter; however, instead of following those leads, investigators coerced a man named Shawn Stevenson to blame Catlett’s friend, Eric Riddick. Eric was told about Stevenson’s 1999 recantation four years late in 2003, when he was procedurally barred from using it. It took the support of Meek Mill, NBC'S Dan Slepian, Georgetown’s “Making an Exoneree,” Philadelphia Councilman David, Oh, and the election of Larry Krasner as DA for justice to finally be served in May 2021.
