Jennifer Thompson was raped at knifepoint by a man who broke
into her apartment while she slept. She was able to escape,
and eventually positively identified Ronald Cotton as her
attacker. Ronald insisted that she was mistaken-- but
Jennifer's positive identification was the compelling
evidence that put him behind bars. After eleven years,
Ronald was allowed to take a DNA test that proved his
innocence. He was released, after serving more than a decade
in prison for a crime he never committed. Two years later,
Jennifer and Ronald met face to face-- and forged an
unlikely friendship that changed both of their lives. In their own words, Jennifer and Ronald unfold the harrowing
details of their tragedy, and challenge our ideas of memory
and judgment while demonstrating the profound nature of
human grace and the healing power of forgiveness.
