Trial 4 Storyline

The Netflix Documentary is going to tell the real-life story of Sean K.Ellis, a man who says he was wrongfully convicted of killing a police officer when he was just 19. The documentary is going to show his fourth trial, initially, he was given a life sentence, but was later released when new evidence came up. The new evidence says that one officer was responsible for the murder of the police officer, and the police department just wanted a scapegoat, which happened to be Sean Ellis. Sean K.Ellis has spent 22 years in prison. He was convicted way back in 1993. Sean, now 41 years old will probably be forced to stay in prison for his entire life if something goes wrong in his fourth trial. This is what the synopsis says on Netflix:

“Charged as a teen in the 1993 killing of a Boston cop, Sean K. Ellis fights to prove his innocence while exposing police corruption and systematic racism.”

This is what District Attorney John Pappas had to say about the incident:

“In the 25 years since Det. Mulligan was murdered in cold blood, not one piece of evidence developed by prosecutors, defense counsel, or anyone else has pointed to anyone but Sean Ellis and Terry Patterson,”  he further went on “Of all the people in all the world who might have killed John Mulligan, only they were present at the time and place he was killed — by their own admissions, supported by eyewitnesses and physical evidence.”

Trial 4 was announced on Netflix with a trailer released internationally on October 29 2020 without any formal announcement or conference or anything like that.
