n 2025, Subramaniam “Subu” Vedam was exonerated after spending 43 years in a Pennsylvania prison for a murder he always said he didn’t commit. His conviction unraveled when newly released case files revealed suppressed evidence, flawed forensic testimony, and a major Brady violation involving FBI ballistics. But just moments after winning his freedom, ICE agents detained him — attempting to deport him to India, a country he left as an infant.

This episode breaks down the wrongful conviction, the forensic misconduct, the investigation failures, and the shocking immigration battle that followed. A devastating true-crime story about how the American justice system can fail twice — first by imprisoning an innocent man, and then by trying to deport him.
