"33 and Counting" is a true-crime story about a 70-year-old grandmother from rural Missouri serving a life sentence for a murder she says her rapist committed. In America, can a woman be sentenced to life for having an affair? Lawyers say that's exactly what happened in this small town in 1985. Our investigative documentary reveals the significant problems with the investigation and prosecution of Patty Prewitt’s case, along with the role gender bias played in her conviction.
We look at the toll her imprisonment has taken on her surviving children, the tremendous impact she has made while in prison and why lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are fighting for her release.
