Watch: A Murder in the Park 2014 123movies, Full Movie Online – In 1999, just hours before his scheduled execution, convicted killer Anthony Porter’s life was saved by a journalism class from Northwestern University, led by renowned Innocence Project pioneer, Professor David Protess. The class seemingly found the real killer, Alstory Simon. Porter was released, becoming the poster boy of the anti-death penalty movement. Because of his case, Illinois eventually abolished the death penalty. The filmmakers present strong evidence that Northwestern’s investigation led to the release of the real killer, and imprisoned an innocent man. In October 2013, due in part to this film’s investigation, the Cook County State’s Attorney’s office reopened this case..
Plot: Documentary filmmakers assert that Anthony Porter – a former death-row inmate who was spared the death penalty thanks to the efforts of a college journalism program – was actually guilty, and an innocent man was sent to prison.

Cautionary Tale
A cautionary tale that everyone involved in the criminal justice system has the potential to be susceptible to biases; even those with the purest and most altruistic motives.

Stunning & Mind-Boggling
This stunning and mind-boggling documentary, directed by Shawn Rech and Brandon Kimber, and inspired by ” A Miscarriage of Justice” by William Crawford, made my “blood boil” and my “skin crawl”.

The film initially focuses on a team of “concerned” citizens and professionals, in conjunction with the media, who have worked successfully to obtain the release of a death row inmate (Anthony Porter), just 48 hours before his scheduled execution. However, there’s a major twist to this movie, as we find out that this same team appears to have coerced and used intimidation to elicit a false confession from another innocent man (Alstory Simon), regarding a double murder in Chicago’s Washington Park.

This team would consist of, at the time, Northwestern Journalism Professor David Protess, his Innocence Project along with a group of overly zealous but terribly naïve journalism students, Private Investigator Paul Ciolino, and attorney Jack Rimland. How this team reportedly used the media, state officials, and the courts to pull this off was absolutely amazing.

The consequences of all this would prove to be dire as Simon would sit in jail for years. Thank goodness for attorneys James Sotos and Terry Skl, who took Simon’s case and had to battle the system to try and get some sort of justice for him.

Overall, this documentary can get somewhat confusing as so many names and situations are involved, but, for me, it was definitely worth the time, as the movie just astounded me. Just when you think you’ve seen it all, you realize you haven’t.
