Description: The truth is the shocking true story of a life that could have been better lived. Nathan Chapman killed someone. But it wasn't murder. It was an accident. No malice, no forethought, just a horrible misfortune. Why then did he plead guilty to first degree murder? He didn't. The attorney who Chapman met fifteen minutes before the trial, did. Why? Simple. No one's going to believe it was an accident, his lawyer said regarding his black client's explanation.
