00:00:00
[Music] I haven't had time to actually think about what it is to be free what it
00:00:07
means to be free what it is to have this life [Music] [Applause] [Music] back I get out and such a different
00:00:18
world there's so much more going on I'm ready for anything really I kind of want
00:00:22
some Dairy Queen all right please I'm Erin morard I've been following the case of Ryan Ferguson since 2005 when he
00:00:41
went on trial for the murder of newspaper sports editor Kent heid hold from the beginning there was just
00:00:47
something not right about this [Music] case there is no physical evidence whatsoever to connect Ryan to the crime
00:00:59
scene recording this will be detective stroer a lot of it's kind of foggy kind of fuzzy to you as to what you
00:01:12
remember your honor the state calls Charles Erics I looked up and Ryan was over the victim he had
00:01:22
his foot on his back and he was pulling up on the Belt the reality is that he chose to lie
00:01:29
about me as to count one guilty of murder in the second degree it just sucked the air right out
00:01:40
of us we were absolutely devastated Ryan Ferguson never should have been tried for this
00:01:54
murder this case is full of holes it's just full of holes Ryan Ferguson is actually
00:02:04
innocent I think I saw Ryan it is oh my God I it's there oh my gosh look at it cannot get better than
00:02:15
that oh my [Applause] God I think I've proven my innocence I think most people in the world in the
00:02:28
whole world can see that end of story not yet not for Ryan Ferguson it's very daunting you don't
00:02:39
know what you're doing in this world and you don't know how to navigate it and operate in it and not for his accuser it
00:02:46
was really easy for the police and the prosecutors to manipulate me I'm angry I'm angry at myself I feel like I've
00:02:56
been played for a fool and I feel like I should be released from prison I know that Charles Erikson is absolutely
00:03:03
innocent when you've got innocent people locked up you've got the murderer still
00:03:07
on the street they need to find the real killer
