Lane meticulously unearthed a multitude of troubling factors that raised serious doubts about Richardson's wrongful conviction for murder. Fueled by a profound sense of justice, Lane took it upon himself to champion the cause of the father who had endured the unbearable loss of his children, the forfeiture of his freedom, and the disruption of his former life.
