Summary:The science of DNA testing can establish with near certainty who did or didn't commit a crime. Why, then, do inmates remain in prison despite DNA evidence which exonerates them? "The Case for Innocence" explores this question, profiling four compelling cases where DNA evidence has been ignored, discounted, or kept secret. The four cases presented in the film are of Earl Washington Jr., Clyde Charles, Roy Criner, and Joseph Roger O'Dell.
