Christopher Tapp

including, of course, the man who'd spent more than two decades in prison after confessing, falsely, that he killed Angie, Chris Tapp.

I got asked the question, do you owe Chris Tapp an apology?

It was two months later, in July 2019, when, in the words of the police chief, Chris Tapp finally got his day.

You nervous about this?

We rode with Chris to the courthouse for what was potentially the day of his exoneration, if the judge signed off.

And then where do we go from there?

Well, we're about to find out.

Yeah.

We are.

At his attorney's office, Chris Tapp was greeted by many of his oldest friends, those river kids, wearing T-shirts bearing a message they'd repeated ever since the start.

Innocent.

We told you so.

They all marched with Chris to the courthouse, a block away.

Those present included Jeremy and Russ and George.

Here's what happened when Chris walked into the courtroom.

Carol Dodge was there, of course.

The prosecution went first.

Brent Dodge, Angie's brother, spoke for the family.

It was then time for Chris to speak.

And then, finally, the judge.
