Overview

• Connie Dahl was exonerated posthumously for a 1985 murder after DNA evidence proved her innocence.
• Dahl's false confession, coerced through aggressive interrogation, led to her and Ricky Davis's wrongful convictions.
• Davis was freed in 2020, but Dahl had died in 2014 without seeing justice served.
• District Attorney Vern Pierson has since reformed interrogation training to prevent future false confessions.
• Dahl's exoneration underscores the long-lasting impact of wrongful convictions on families.
