Judgement Day in a New Orleans Court

John Kinsel has been locked up for more than 26 years for a crime he says he did not commit -- raping, choking and threatening to kill a child. About 30 years ago, Kinsel, 22 at the time, says he met and fell in love with a single mother of three, Adrienne, and then got the chance to play dad to her three children. Some claim that didn’t sit too well with Adrienne’s 9-year-old middle child, Alyssa, who said Kinsel was strict and demanding, and she didn’t like him. Alyssa now says she devised a plan to get rid of Kinsel; she says she told a lie, accusing him of sexually abusing her for years. Kinsel was convicted and sentenced to life in prison without parole based on Alyssa’s testimony. Nine years later, 18-year-old Alyssa walked into the District Attorney’s office and said she wanted to recant her testimony -- why? Adrienne, Alyssa, and Kinsel’s attorney, Justin Bonus, appeared on Dr. Phil, and Alyssa told Dr. Phil she regrets telling this lie that put an innocent man behind bars for life. Now, Dr. Phil heads to a courthouse in New Orleans for a new evidentiary hearing for Kinsel. Cameras were not allowed in the courtroom, so afterward, Dr. Phil sits down with Adrienne, Alyssa, John’s sister, Mary, Adrienne’s niece, Georgette, and John’s attorneys, Justin Bonus, Marty Tankleff, and Max Demers, to find out what happened behind closed doors. Is there new evidence? Did Kinsel get any good news about his case? And, is Kinsel any closer to freedom? (21413RR) Dr. Phil tells compelling stories about real people.
