This is The Guardian.

Since the day he was arrested, Tyrone Clay had been asking police to look at his PlayStation.

If they did, they'd see he was gaming on the night Clifton Lewis was murdered, playing NBA 2K.

You know, I was on it that night. I remember I was playing.

I was, because I always played basketball. It was 2K-11, back 2K-2011.

He told police, his attorneys, practically anyone who would listen, just check the PlayStation. You'll see.

I told him, I said, grab my game. My game going to prove to y'all. It's just like a

computer. It's a hard driving that. It's going to save everything. So I was telling them that.

I said, man, if you look on that game, it's going to tell you everything. But by 2022, he'd already spent a decade in the hellhole of Cook County Jail,

without ever being tried.

The PlayStation had remained on a shelf in an evidence room, gathering dust,

until Jennifer's associate, Eric Bisbee,

heard about the PlayStation and knew exactly what to do next.

From The Guardian, I'm Melissa Segura, and this is off-duty.

Episode 4, Digital Forensics.

Eric grew up in Tennessee.

His dad was an electrical engineer working with NASA.

His mom stayed home and looked after Eric and his brother.

One of his earliest memories is his mom buying the Christmas present of his dreams.

Super Nintendo.

Honestly, the only memory I have in the first house I ever lived in was me being like three or four and mom coming home with that.

Except it wasn't for Eric.
