Frank's story is a sad story because he apparently falsely accused the Schweitzer's, denied involvement, and then later on was tagged and identified as possibly his shirt was, and DNA was established that he was a participant.

At one point, he said he saw things and knew things, and other times he said, no, I wasn't there. I was just doing this to get my brother off the hook because he was facing his own criminal charges. So he kind of entrapped himself in his own series of lies. And I didn't realize the impact of Frank's conviction had on his children.

I had an opportunity to spend quite a bit of time now with his son, Aaron, who's in custody himself on a domestic violence case. His description of his life and his brother's life, who has since passed away, was really hard. They had to change their names.

Frank was nonetheless innocent and he was convicted. But he contributed to that conviction because of all of his expansive lies and his stories. He was trying to play both sides of the fence, trying to help this person or that brother or this family member. Then he figured I could exonerate myself. But which brings home the notion that innocent people do get convicted.

So when he finally gets convicted, it's like... I didn't do this. And he kept telling people I didn't do it. It's too little too late because he's talked himself into a conviction. That's unfortunate. We often ask you when you read an article about someone confessing to a crime and then later on they're exonerated, particularly in this case, where they clearly couldn't have been the person.

Yet they confessed to it. And you're shocked going, why would you confess? Well, if you ever sat down with people and spoken to them once, you know, they've done that, you've experienced the pressure of being interrogated, yes.
