00:01My name is Sean Ellis, and I was wrongfully convicted of murder at 19.
00:08Now I'm facing my fourth trial and the possibility of going back to prison for life.
00:16The death of a police officer, it's not handled like other homicides, and this one wasn't.
00:21The sense we got was Mulligan's past had caught up with him.
00:26And when a black kid got arrested, it's like, where'd that come from? Here we go again.
00:31In my opinion, Sean Ellis executed John Mulligan.
00:35I was scared. I was confused. My son was in jail for murder.
00:44The first words out of Sean's mouth is, I was there that night.
00:47I brought some diapers to my cousin. I came out and went home.
00:50Why would somebody put themselves in the middle of a homicide if they were involved?
00:54The cops were just looking for someone to pin this murderer.
00:57Ellis was convicted by the work of corrupt police detectives.
01:04The corruption within the Boston Police Department is what drove this investigation.
01:10There's nothing that connects Sean to this crime.
01:13Attorney General's office knows about it. U.S. Attorney's office knows about it.
01:16There's no conspiracy. Sean Ellis did it. I mean, it's as simple as that. He did it.
01:20There is a cultural cover-up that has affected the Boston Police Department and police departments everywhere across the country.
01:27We just want a taste of freedom.
01:29Justice!
01:30Freedom!
01:32It's a black man. White police officer. Of course it's race.
01:37Freedom!
01:37Every day that someone stays locked up for a crime he didn't commit is a day that you shouldn't be
01:45able to sleep as a prosecutor.
01:47For my fourth trial, I want to be vindicated. I want to be exonerated.
01:52I definitely want the world to know that I'm innocent.
