“NCIS Season 16" Episode 5 might just be the most important episode of the show yet, at least for those who might have been wrongly imprisoned or know someone who has been wrongly imprisoned. The show highlights one of the most glaring issues in the American Justice system, with the case of a marine. Due to new evidence, he might just be exonerated after 50 years behind bars.
As Carter Matt notes, “NCIS Season 16" Episode 5 is an incredibly important episode because it highlights how many people are wrongfully convicted of crimes they did not commit.
