Reasonable Doubts, Part 2: The Investigation
Resume
At 10:30 p.m. on Veterans Day in 1985 an alleged drug dealer was murdered in a Brockton parking lot.
Six days later, Brockton police arrested 18-year-old Darrell 'Diamond' Jones, of Boston.
Jones was tried, found guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison without parole. But he's always maintained that he was innocent.
