joe bryan's conviction is overturned and he was released from prison. >> even though joe is free, he'show did that compare at all with the first one? >> same railroad track. >> it was the same judge. from what i understand, it would just replay, just a summer rerun, the trial was. >> this time, he's lost a lot of the supporters that he had before. i think that people had largely settled into the idea that he must actually be a murderer. >> the defense in the second case presented only five character witnesses, which is only a fraction of the 36 that testified in the first trial. >> ashamed to say it, but i didn't want to be involved anymore, and that's how i handled it. just not going to do any of that anymore. put it behind me. >> yet again, detective robert thorman testifies about the blood spatter. >> after just three hours of deliberation, another jury convicts joe bryan of the murder of his wife. >> after the second conviction, it seems like it might be case closed, but not for everybody, including a man named leon smith. >> i was a publisher of the "clifton record" and also its e
