The Norfolk Four case involves four U.S. Navy sailors who were wrongfully convicted of the 1997 rape and murder of Michelle Moore-Bosko in Norfolk, Virginia, based on coerced confessions and questionable evidence. Years later, DNA testing and other evidence led to their exoneration, highlighting issues of police misconduct and the fallibility of the justice system.
