  It starts more than 25 years ago when New Orleans was overwhelmed with gun violence. Late one night, 18-year-old Bobby Gumpwright became the victim of a random crime.

  I got to be dreaming of something. I'm like, "Lord, this can't be real." I thought it was a mistaken identity.

  How did 18-year-old Bobby Gumpwright convince the police, the prosecutors, and the jury that Jermaine Hudson should be in prison?

  I couldn't stop myself. After lying for so long, I learned the best lie is partial truth.

  If I didn't do this, this can't be the end. This can't be the end of me.

• 1:42Nancy Glass?

  For 22 years, only two people knew the truth, until a confession changed everything.

  She's been thinking about this sleepover all week, but I think about her food allergies all the time. Fortunately, her doctor prescribed Zolair, Omalizumab. It's proven to significantly reduce allergic reactions if a food allergy accident happens.

• 4:09Speaker 07

  Zolair 150mg is a prescription medication used to treat food allergy in people one year of age and older to reduce allergic reactions due to accidental exposure to one or more foods. While taking Zolair, you should continue to avoid all foods to which you are allergic. Don't use if you are allergic to Zolair. Zolair may cause a severe, life-threatening allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Tell your doctor if you ever had anaphylaxis. Get help right away if you have trouble breathing or if you have swelling of your throat or tongue. Zolair should not be used for the emergency treatment of allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Zolair is for maintenance use to reduce allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis, while avoiding food allergens. Serious side effects such as cancer, fever, muscle aches and rash, parasitic infection, or heart and circulation problems have been reported. Please see zolair.com for full prescribing information. Ask an allergist about Zolair.
