In this sweeping investigative feature by bestselling author Casey Sherman, James "Jimmy" Rodwell's decades-long fight for innocence reveals one of Massachusetts' most troubling wrongful conviction cases. Convicted of first-degree murder in 1982 for the shooting death of Woburn drug dealer Louis Rose, Rodwell was sentenced to life without parole based almost entirely on the testimony of two government informants — David Nagle and Frankie Holmes — with no physical evidence, no murder weapon, and no eyewitnesses ever linking him to the crime. James Rodwell has spent the past 43 years trying to prove he didn't kill a Burlington police captain's son. Now he's determined to clear his name before time runs out.
