Wrong Man is a groundbreaking documentary series which examines three different cases of inmates who have been incarcerated for decades and claim they are innocent. The series will uncover new theories, offer alternate suspects and reveal startling new evidence that could prove these inmates are not guilty. In Wrong Man, cameras follow a team of esteemed legal, investigative and forensic experts including renowned civil rights attorney Ronald Kuby, former prosecutor Sue-Ann Robinson, retired NCIS investigator Joe Kennedy, and Ira Todd, a member of Detroit's elite Homicide Task Force, as they re-investigate the cases of three inmates who have been locked up for decades and claim they are innocent.
There is no Next Episode of Wrong Man planned.
S2E4 - Rorrer Hour 2: Under the Microscope
Patricia Rorrer is found guilty of the abduction and murder of Joann Katrinak and her infant son, Alex. But "Wrong Man" investigators discover that there is no clear timeline between when Joann and Alex disappeared and when their bodies were discovered four months later. They interview a witness who insists she saw Patty with a man five days after her alleged kidnapping. And a forensic entomologist and a medical examiner tell them that considering the state of decomposition of the bodies and the size of the infant, they doubt that the bodies had been lying in the field where they were found for four months.

S2E5 - Clair Hour 1: Black or White
The "Wrong Man" team explores the case of Kenneth Clair, a homeless black man who was convicted and sentenced to death for the brutal torture and murder of a live-in babysitter, 25-year-old Linda Rodgers, in Santa Ana, California, in 1984. Hours after the murder, a child who lived in the home told police that he had seen a white man kill the babysitter. The "Wrong Man" team examines all aspects of the prosecution's case against Clair, particularly a description of jewelry taken from the murder scene that Kenneth's girlfriend claimed she saw, and the alleged "confession" she elicited from him while being wiretapped by the police. When they discover that she had sustained a severe head injury in an accident shortly before the murder, they consult with a neuropsychologist and learn that her injury would have affected her memory and cognitive abilities and may have made her susceptible to coaching. How reliable was the confession that convicted Kenneth Clair?

In discussing the violent sexual nature of the murder, the team points out that certain details in the crime scene indicate the killer could have been someone who was intimate with Linda. Investigators Ira Todd and Joe Kennedy try to track down the victim's boyfriend, who disappeared right after the murder.
