Did They Do It? With Dr. Nicky Jackson
A crimeHQ special series on Wrongful Convictions
Over the course of 4 weeks, Dr. Nicky Jackson will present you with cases of those who were convicted guilty and incarcerated for crimes they claim they did not commit. You will be presented with the evidence, you will hear from criminal and forensic experts, the family or friends of the convicted, and sometimes, the accused themselves. You'll then be asked: Did They Do It?
Dr. Nicky Jackson has made it her life’s work to help those wrongfully convicted and shed light on the sometimes broken justice system. Through this crimeHQ series, Dr. Jackson will present members with cases that are close to her in an effort to raise awareness of miscarriages of justice.
Did They Do It? with Dr. Nicky Jackson will premiere with a case that has garnered world-wide attention and has been surrounded by extreme controversy; the conviction of Daniel Holtzclaw. In 2015 Holtzclaw was found guilty on 18 charges relating to sexual assault and was sentenced to 263 years in prison. 13 women claimed that he assaulted them while he was on duty as a police officer for the Oklahoma City Police Department.
Dr. Jackson, along with Daniel’s sister Jenny, will dispute the evidence presented at trial, bring in experts to explain the DNA (or lack thereof) and the GPS/AVL system on Daniel’s police cruiser, explore the often over looked concept of witness ‘mistaken identification’ and you’ll hear from Daniel himself.
