Controversial Confession Is at the Center of ‘A Fatal Confession: Keith Morrison Investigates’
He confessed. He said he did it. He signed the papers, told the story, and took the blame. But what if it was all a mistake? What if this man was forced to confess to a drive-by shooting he knew nothing about?
This is the claim of Daniel Villegas, a man who at 16-years-old took responsibility for a double homicide in the city of El Paso, TX, which is explored in A Fatal Confession: Keith Morrison Investigates.
