On a sunny morning, 20-year-old Nancy DePriest was found naked, raped, and shot in the restaurant where she worked. The crime shocked a nation and was later dubbed by the national press "The Pizza Hut Murder." Nancy’s mother, Jeanette Popp, along with Wanda Evans, poignantly recount the senseless crime and a mother’s journey to find the killer. As the grief and sorrow pulled her apart, Jeanette learned that Christopher Ochoa had confessed to the crime and implicated his friend Richard Danziger. They were charged and convicted to life terms in 1990, yet over the course of twelve years, another suspect emerged from the shadow who confessed to the murder. Jeanette joins the Innocence Project and struggles to free Ochoa and Danzinger, whom she now believes have been wrongly convicted, while bringing the real killer to justice. Mortal Justice is an emotionally powerful, profound human drama and gripping true story of murder, false confessions, and justice long overdue.
