Steve Titus Guilty!! Until proven Innocent!

What Happens in the Woods

We have covered a lot of cases over the past few seasons that have left us scratching our heads and with little trust in the justice system. This one is no different.
When Steve Titus was pulled over by police after a night out with his fiance, he fully cooperated with them, never thinking it would come back later and ruin his life. Just 2 short days later, he was in custody and facing sexual assault charges. He maintained his innocence throughout his statements, his arrest, and ultimately his trial. There are so many red flags, beginning with inconsistencies in the victim’s statement and the timeline to evidence that doesn’t match what the prosecutors claim happened.
If it wasn’t for the work of one journalist, Steve Titus may never have been acquitted of all charges in July of 1981.
While thankfully, his conviction was overturned, there are many that were not as fortunate. Even so, his life was never the same.
