That changed when a USB drive arrived in my mailbox last month. I could hardly believe what I saw.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-b3a789\" class=\"body-graf\">In 1998, a Louisiana jury convicted Jimmie \u201cChris\u201d Duncan of murdering 23-month-old Haley Oliveaux and sentenced him to death. The case rested on alleged bite marks an expert said Duncan had made on her body. Duncan maintained his innocence.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-df1fcf\" class=\"body-graf\">Yet all along, the truth had been preserved on video, in a recording Duncan\u2019s jury never knew existed. It wasn\u2019t until 2024 that it would be played publicly. Part of the footage shows forensic dentist Dr. Michael West examining Haley\u2019s body in a morgue. For 20 minutes, West presses a mold of Duncan\u2019s teeth into Haley\u2019s cheek and body roughly 50 times. Lawyers and forensic experts would testify that West\u2019s actions appeared to produce the very marks used to help send Duncan to death row. West denies creating them. <\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-fd40f5\" class=\"body-graf\">Today, Duncan is free and trying to rebuild his life after his conviction was vacated.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-33bf1f\" class=\"body-graf\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nbcnews.com\/news\/us-news\/bite-marks-jimmie-chris-duncan-death-row-louisiana-video-free-rcna588710?cid=eml_npd_nws_mrd_07282026&amp;tpcc=eml_npd_nws_mrd_07282026\" target=\"_self\"><strong>This story reaches far beyond one conviction.<\/strong><\/a> The work of West and others he worked with helped send at least nine innocent people to prison, some for decades, before they were exonerated.<\/p>\n<p id=\"anchor-fc7452\" class=\"body-graf\">For more than 30 years, Duncan insisted the system had condemned the wrong man.
