Lakeith Smith has been behind bars since he was 15 years old. He will be there for quite a while longer, having been convicted of murder in 2018. The catch: Prosecutors are certain he didn't kill anyone.
In February 2015, Smith and a group of teens carried out a series of daytime burglaries in Millbrook, Alabama, when residents weren't home. They were primarily looking for gaming systems. A neighbor phoned police when she noticed a car arrive at one house where she knew the owner to be out of town on business.
