The Summary of Darrell Hunt
In 1984 a man of the last name of Sykes was murdered. Darrell Hunt was the man charged with the murder. Darrell Hunt’s DNA test results did not match the DNA or the saliva that was at the scene of the crime. Hunt was pressured so the police can get to Sammy Mitchell. There was no such thing as a perfect case. Johnny Grey was immediately a person that the police was looking into, because Grey was connected to Sykes. Thomas Murphy thought he saw Darrell Hunt with Sykes when he died. So as you can see Hunt was being charged with a murder that he didn’t commit. He was sent to prison for a long time. Police always assume that they caught the right when in fact they hadn’t.
