Title: What do you do when the system says you are innocent but won’t let you get on with your life?

David Lemus and Olmedo Hidalgo were released from prison in 2005 after having served 14 years for a murder that a New York judge found they had been wrongly convicted of. Yet Hidalgo was deported and Lemus is being retried for the same murder. Dateline NBC has followed this case in the recently aired “In the Shadow of Justice.” For more information, go here. NYC Detective John Schwartz will talk to three Sociology classes about his investigation into this ongoing case and working with Dateline NBC.
