What happens when a rising singer is accused of a crime he didn’t commit—based only on lies?

In this gripping episode of Death Row Stories, Perry Cobb takes us through his extraordinary life: from performing in Chicago nightclubs to being falsely accused of double murder. With no evidence against him—only the testimony of a witness later exposed as unreliable—Perry was tried five times, convicted, and sentenced to death.

For ten years, he lived behind bars, losing his freedom, his family ties, and his career. But Perry never gave up. He studied the law, rewrote his own legal brief, and opened the door for his release.

At 83 years old, Perry looks back on what was taken from him—his music, his family, his trust in the system—and what it means to survive injustice in America.
