Evidence is crucial. In a true story of proven innocence, there has to be strong evidence that either refutes the original accusations or shows that there was a misunderstanding. For example, if someone was accused of theft but surveillance footage later shows they were not at the scene.

Yes, there are. Sometimes real-life cases involve people being wrongly accused and later proven innocent through new evidence or investigations.

Eyewitness misidentification can also play a role in false convictions. But when the true story is uncovered, it often shows that the eyewitness was wrong. Maybe they were under stress during the incident or had a poor view. When these facts are revealed, it can lead to the defendant being proven innocent.

The West Memphis Three. They were convicted in 1994 of the murders of three 8 - year - old boys in Arkansas. Their case was full of circumstantial evidence and public hysteria.

Eventually, they reached an Alford plea deal in 2011 which allowed them to be released as they were proven innocent based on the true facts that came to light over time.

One example could be the case of the Central Park Five. Initially wrongly convicted, later they were proven innocent based on new evidence and a re - examination of the case which was a true story of a miscarriage of justice. DNA evidence and other facts came to light which exonerated them.
