概要
A rusted mailbox and forty-seven sealed envelopes turned up on a gravel Ohio road after a county surveyor pulled over for a boundary dispute - letters written every month for ten years to a man who had been in prison the whole time. How did those letters survive unseen at a vacant farmhouse while Marcus Smith sat incarcerated 140 miles away, and what did they finally reveal about a conviction that lasted a decade?
In this episode, we follow the chain of small, ordinary decisions that left forty-seven letters unread: a surveyor who counted the envelopes, a mailbox dented in a truck collision, a neighbor who checked the property, a mail carrier who sometimes stopped when the flag was raised, and a woman who wrote once a month for ten years. What does this accumulation of chance and persistence tell us about Marcus Smith's case and the systems around him?
