Jacob Gentry, a man from New Jersey, was wrongfully convicted in 2011 for the killing of his fellow pipeline worker, David Haulmark, during a fight. Gentry was sentenced to 30 years in prison for manslaughter after a brawl that resulted in Haulmark's death. However, after serving four years in prison, Gentry's conviction was overturned in January 2015.

The overturning of his conviction was based on new evidence that came to light, including video footage that contradicted the original trial’s findings. This evidence suggested that Gentry had acted in self-defense and was not responsible for Haulmark's death as initially believed.
Gentry’s case highlights the importance of having access to all relevant evidence and how new information can sometimes expose flaws in a conviction. His wrongful conviction and eventual exoneration shed light on issues within the justice system, especially in cases where critical evidence may have been overlooked or misinterpreted.
