Leon Benson spent more than half of his life, a total of 24 years,
in an Indiana state prison for a murder he didn't commit. Despite
the lack of physical evidence and a questionable eyewitness
identification, he was convicted. But new realities start to come
to light when attorney Lara Bazelon takes up his case and is
determined to secure Benson's release. Season three of Suspect,
co-produced by Campside Media and Wondery, delves into the flaws in
the criminal justice system that led to Benson's wrongful
conviction for the 1998 shooting of Kasey Schoen in Indianapolis.
The investigation aims to uncover the truth about who really
committed the crime and why the eyewitness testimony that led to
Benson's conviction was so shaky. Host Matthew Shaer joins
co-producer and writer Bazelon to take a deep dive into the nature
of memory and how it can be fallible and result in an innocent
man's life being wasted, while the real perpetrator remains
unpunished. As the investigation unfolds, will Bazelon and her team
gather enough evidence to free Benson? And what will happen to
Schoen's real killer?
