Synopsis by Augustine Chay
Director Patrick Forbes’s true crime documentary revisits the wrongful conviction case of Carlos DeLuna, a young Hispanic man who was arrested in 1993 for the murder of Wanda Lopez. DeLuna insisted on his innocence until his execution, but the prosecution did not believe his claim that another Carlos had committed the murder. Using interviews with witnesses, legal experts, and Carlos’s family members, it examines the dark legacy of anti-Hispanic bias within the American judicial system.
