Daniel Viegas from convict to free man

In 1993 Texas was feeling the heat of gang violence. During elections the new DA's platform is one of tough reform and persecution of gang related crimes. Two teenagers get killed shortly after election, and the DA makes good on his promise. "The Punisher" a seasoned detective is eager to solve the case using illegal methods to illicit false confessions from numerous teenagers. Deciding Daniel Viegas fit the narrative, the punisher beats a confession from him. The state uses statements only from fellow intimidated teens and zero evidence managing to come out victorious. It isn't until 2018 that Daniels story is righted.
