What’s in a name? For Thomas James, his name was his downfall. A combination of bad luck, bad police work, and a bad reputation landed Thomas in jail for over 30 years for the murder of Francis McKinnon. What seemed like an open and shut case proved to be a tragic miscarriage of justice, punishing an innocent man and letting a guilty one run free.
