Wrongful Convictions Episodes: When Innocence Is Not A Defense: The Sonny Bharadia Story

In 2001, a woman in Thunderbolt, Georgia was sexually assaulted during a burglary by a man wearing blue and white batting gloves. Sonny Bharadia, located 250 miles away during the attack, reported Sterling Flint for stealing his car and motorcycle, leading to threats from Flint. Police found the victim's stolen items and batting gloves with Flint, who was identified by the victim in a suggestive photo lineup. However, Sonny was also wrongly identified in a later lineup, despite looking dissimilar to Flint. Both were charged, with Flint pleading guilty and testifying against Sonny, who was convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Years later, DNA testing cleared Sonny and implicated Flint, but legal hurdles persist.
