hello Melissa hi it's been boy more than a decade since I first met you mhm when
00:00:19
we first met did you ever think you'd still be here this long no why am I still in
00:00:27
here I just don't understand you may remember in 2009 Melissa kazinski was working at a Lincolnshire
00:00:37
daycare she was given 31 years in prison for the death of a 16-month-old who was
00:00:43
in her care since then she and her supporters have been fighting back calling this a wrongful
00:00:50
conviction it hurts she doesn't belong there she's the kind of person that would take her shirt
00:00:58
off her back and help other people this is my baby this is my youngest I just want her
00:01:08
home I used to work at the minii daycare I think it was definitely more than a job to her the kids were her
00:01:19
number one priority I feel like the kids brightened her day do you believe that Melissa kusinski
00:01:28
had anything to do with Ben King and's death zero she had nothing to do with it I am Melissa kosinski's current
00:01:37
attorney she loved Ben Ben loved her and what she told the police was that she threw him to the floor you
00:01:47
threw him on the floor yeah show us how hard you threw him on the ground like that did you hurt that baby no I did not
00:01:56
I would never do that you've got her I isolated in a small room with these two men for hours I never put she's trying
00:02:07
so hard to be the good girl the compliant girl I want to help you guys so much she's not equipped to deal with
00:02:16
a situation like that we're not going anywhere until we get the facts here the only way for me to get out was to make a
00:02:26
confession a false confession is there there any evidence that corroborates the confession that Melissa
00:02:35
made zero we would never take someone to trial with just a confession this child
00:02:40
had a fractured skull there was extensive injuries to this child internally it's clear that she killed
00:02:46
Benjamin do you believe there was a skull fracture no there is no fracture the evidence had been
00:02:55
manipulated if I take these sliders here you can manipulate this photo so somebody went in and they altered the
00:03:02
contrast to make it look like that on screen somebody took xrays that were completely clear and turned them into
00:03:11
unreadable images yes I can't think of an innocent explanation so you're saying that either the prosecutor's office or
00:03:20
the coroner's office but somebody representing the state did this yes yes a former daycare worker convicted of
00:03:28
killing a todler rise again today to be released from prison your case was before the prisoner Review Board in an
00:03:35
effort to get clemency people have to know the truth I have to keep pushing fighting no matter how much it hurts I
00:03:44
want people to know I'm innocent [Music]
