Introducing Uncertain Terms
In Florida, hundreds of juvenile offenders serving life for murder are eligible for a sentencing do-over.
“Uncertain Terms” is an exclusive true-crime series that digs into the compelling stories of teenagers who committed murder and were sentenced to life in prison, sometimes decades ago, as they return to court for resentencing — and could go free.
Behind the microphones are two journalists, Melissa E. Holsman and Dacia Johnson, who have been working on this five-part series for more than a year. They've been attending court hearings, interviewing families, meeting with a range of experts and talking with prosecutors and defense attorneys.
They obtained hours of archived trial video — think old VHS tapes — and worked with court officials to copy stored audio from old trials. while also digging up old police interrogations, taped confessions and crime scene evidence.
