Summary

On April 5th, 1990, Bernhardt and Cora Hartig, both 81, were shot to death in their Atwater, OH home with a .25 caliber gun. Miles away, 18-year-old Tyrone Noling was involved in two non-violent robberies – in one, he stole a .25 caliber gun and in the second, it accidentally discharged, hurting no one. This gun, however, was not the Hartig murder weapon, and despite other, more viable suspects, Portage County investigators targeted Tyrone and convinced his friends to testify against him. All witnesses have since recanted, but after 28 years, Tyrone is still on death row.

0:00.0	In 1990, 18-year-old Tyrone Nolan lived with friends whose ages range from 14 to 20 in
0:08.8	Alliance Ohio. With no real adult supervision or resources, the boys engaged in several minor
0:15.2	robberies, including one where Tyrone had accidentally fired a stolen 25 caliber pistol
0:20.5	into the floor, and no one was heard. The young men were arrested, and Tyrone and his
0:25.2	friend Gary St. Clair played guilty. Around that same time, one county away in AdWater,
0:31.0	Ohio on April 5, 1990, Earnhardt and Korahardick were shot to death in their home with a 25 caliber
0:38.0	gun. The sheriff's office immediately had several leaves, including Tyrone and his friends,
0:43.4	but after Ballistics testing showed that Tyrone's 25 caliber gun was not a match to the murder
0:48.1	weapon, and with no other physical evidence or eyewitness accounts, Tyrone and his friends
0:52.8	were dismissed as suspects. Nevertheless, when the investigation failed to nail the other
0:58.4	more viable suspects, investigators turned back to Tyrone and his friends who were coerced
1:03.3	into turning on one another by lies about non-existent evidence and the real threat of the death
1:08.5	penalty. His friends Joey D'Alessandro, butchwallcott and Gary St. Clair agreed to tout the false narrative
1:15.3	in which Tyrone and Gary St. Clair murdered the heartings. Testimony, they all later recanted.
1:21.6	However, without knowledge of the much more likely suspects and only presented with the coerced
1:27.0	false testimonies, the jury sent Tyrone to death row from where he and the Ohio Innocence
1:33.1	Project continued to fight to clear his name to this very day. This is Rampal Conviction.
1:40.1	This holiday season, 12 strangers, 12 tales. Something was out there.
1:54.4	Whatever it is, it's ravenous. Is that the last person to see you alive?
1:58.4	12 ghosts starring Malcolm McDowell. Who are you? I'm the innkeeper. Presented in immersive 3D audio,
