Susan King was wrongly convicted of murder in Kentucky in 2006. She spent over six years behind bars and is now the plaintiff in a federal civil rights case against the detective she says framed her. 

Susan's story is the subject of this week's Case In Point from The Marshall Project. 

Along with King, Andrew Cohen, senior editor at The Marshall Project and author of Case In Point, explain the case and shed light on a little known type of plea deal — the Alford Plea — which has provided the foundation for the civil rights case.
