Nicholas McGuffin, the subject of this week's 20/20, was convicted of manslaughter in 2011
For nearly a decade, Nicholas McGuffin sat behind bars in an Oregon prison, insisting he had nothing to do with his girlfriend Leah Freeman’s 2000 disappearance and slaying.
McGuffin — who was 18 at the time of Freeman’s death — wouldn’t be cleared of the killing and freed until late 2019, when his conviction was overturned with the help of the Forensic Justice Project, an Oregon-based non-profit focused on combating the misapplication of forensic science.
