Mind Over Murder (season 1)

In 1985, 68-year-old Helen Wilson was murdered and raped in Beatrice, Nebraska. Three years later, police managed to arrest six suspects at once. The investigation had no direct evidence on any of them, but a police psychologist during interrogations managed to convince the suspects that their minds were simply displaced by these terrible events. In the end, fearing the death penalty, five of the six confessed, and three even sincerely believed they were guilty. Only the sixth, Joseph White, continued to stubbornly deny his guilt. And nineteen years later, state-of-the-art dna tests revealed the identity of the real killer. HBO's six-part series tells the story of the six and how they became victims of blatant police brutality.rn
