An death row inmate is set to be executed despite harrowing claims from prosecutors, investigators and even the jury that found him guilty that he was convicted of a he may not have committed. Toforest Johnson, 49, was sentenced to death in 1998 for the murder of a Jefferson County sheriff's deputy, even though investigators admitted there was no physical or forensic evidence proving he was responsible. The 'smoking gun' in the case was a jailhouse phone call allegedly eavesdropped by a woman on a third-party call, where she claims she heard Johnson admit to shooting the deputy.
