Miguel Ángel trabajaba como operador en el aeropuerto de la Ciudad de México cuando su vida cambió para siempre. En 1999, tras una riña entre trabajadores en la que él no participó, fue acusado injustamente de homicidio. Después de año y medio recluido en el Reclusorio Oriente, recibió la libertad absoluta. Sin embargo, tres años después, estando libre y rehaciendo su vida, la policía regresó por él. Lo que nadie le había dicho es que existía una sentencia de 27 años en su contra por el mismo delito del que había sido liberado.

Miguel Ángel was working as a shuttle driver at Mexico City's airport when his life changed forever. In 1999, after a fight broke out between coworkers—one he wasn't even part of—he was wrongly accused of murder. After a year and a half locked up in Reclusorio Oriente, he walked free with a full release. But three years later, while he was out living his life and trying to rebuild, the cops came back for him. What nobody had told him was that there was a 27-year sentence hanging over his head for the same crime he'd already been cleared of.

En este episodio de PENITENCIA, Miguel Ángel comparte su dolorosa historia de injusticia: cómo un testimonio falso de una persona alcoholizada y drogada lo señaló como culpable, cómo la libertad que creyó definitiva se convirtió en una trampa y cómo su familia ha luchado durante más de dos décadas por demostrar su inocencia.
Su hija revela los detalles del caso: las pruebas que demuestran que su padre solo movió una camioneta por petición de los paramédicos, el video que nadie tomó en cuenta, y la recreación de hechos que contradice la acusación.
Un testimonio que expone las fallas del sistema de justicia mexicano, donde una boleta de libertad no garantiza la libertad, y donde 25 años después, Miguel Ángel sigue esperando justicia mientras su madre lucha contra el cáncer terminal en etapa cuatro y su familia se desmorona visitándolo día tras día en prisión.

In this episode of PENITENCIA, Miguel Ángel shares his heartbreaking story of injustice: how lies from someone who was drunk and high got him blamed for a murder he didn't commit, how the freedom he thought was real turned out to be a trap, and how his family has spent over two decades fighting to prove his innocence.
His daughter breaks down the case: the evidence showing her dad just moved a van when the paramedics asked him to, the security footage that got ignored, and the crime scene reconstruction that completely contradicts the accusation.
A story that exposes how broken Mexico's justice system is—where release papers don't actually mean you're free, and where 25 years later, Miguel Ángel is still waiting for justice while his mother fights stage-four cancer and his family falls apart visiting him day after day in prison.
