A chilling true crime deep dive into the 1986 murder of 14-year-old Shelly Boggio, whose case spiraled into a legal nightmare fueled by jailhouse informants. Jack Pearcy was convicted but avoided the death penalty, setting the stage for prosecutors to pin the murder on his roommate, James Dailey — a man with no physical evidence linking him to the crime. Reliance on a single informant, Skalnik, whose testimony secured Dailey’s conviction and death sentence, has since become a lightning rod for systemic injustice. New reporting reveals how the legal system often prioritizes convictions over truth, with nearly a quarter of death row exonerations tied to informant testimony. This gripping exposé exposes how institutions empowered false witnesses — and calls for urgent reform to prevent more lives from being destroyed by unreliable confessions.
