Roger Keith Coleman - DNA Reveals the Truth

My next series will focus on our bid to make film about an a sensational murder case that made the news in the early 1990's. Roger Keith Coleman's rape and murder conviction in the early 80's resulted in the dealth penalty despite his anguished pleas of innocence. He managed to stay the execution for several years but when my film partner and I talked to him about his diaries and troubled life as a struggling coal miner he was facing imminent death.

After 14 years, DNA tests reveal the truth about his guilt or innocence.

This series will be starting later this week.
