00:00My name is Sean Ellis
00:03and I was wrongfully convicted of murder
00:05at 19.
00:08Now I'm facing
00:09my fourth trial and the possibility
00:11of going back to prison for life.
00:16The death of a police officer
00:17is not handled like other homicides
00:20and this one wasn't.
00:21The sense we got was Mulligan's
00:23past had caught up with him
00:25and when a black kid
00:27got arrested, it's like, where'd that come from?
00:30Here we go again.
00:31In my opinion, Sean Ellis executed
00:33John Mulligan.
00:35I was scared, I was confused,
00:38my son was in jail
00:40for murder.
00:44The first words out of Sean's mouth
00:45is, I was there that night.
00:47My cousin, I came out and went home.
00:50Why would somebody put themselves
00:51in the middle of a homicide if they were involved?
00:54The cops were just looking for someone
00:56to pin this murder off.
00:57Ellis was convicted by the work of corrupt
00:59police detectives.
01:04The corruption within the Boston Police Department
01:06is what drove this investigation.
01:10There's nothing that connects Sean
01:12to this crime.
01:13The Attorney General's office knows about it,
01:15U.S. Attorney's office knows about it.
01:16There's no conspiracy.
01:18Sean Ellis did it.
01:19I mean, it's as simple as that.
01:20He did it.
01:21There is a cultural cover-up
01:22that has affected the Boston Police Department
01:24and police departments everywhere across the country.
01:26We just want a taste of freedom.
01:29Justice!
01:30Freedom!
01:32It's a black man, white police officer.
01:35Of course it's race.
01:37Freedom!
01:37Every day that someone stays locked up
01:40for a crime he didn't commit
01:41is a day that you shouldn't be able
01:45to sleep as a prosecutor.
01:47For my fourth trial,
01:49I want to be vindicated.
01:50I want to be exonerated.
01:52I definitely want the world to know
01:54that I'm innocent.
