Two Chicago public defenders knew of a man's innocence in a murder trial because their client (who was being charged in a separate case) admitted guilt but told the two men they couldn't reveal his secrete until after his death which they had to respect because of the attorney-client privilege. The very innocent Alton Logan served a 26 year sentence until he was cleared of all charges when the guilty man died and the public defenders came forward with the confession.
