Tonight on “Larry King Live,” Innocence Project Co-Director Barry Scheck will join cast members from the upcoming film “Conviction,” as well as Betty Anne Waters, whose two-decade quest to overturn her brother’s wrongful conviction inspired the movie.

The film’s stars Hilary Swank and Sam Rockwell will participate in a roundtable discussion on the show, along with several people who served years in prison for crimes they didn’t commit.

Tune in tonight on CNN at 9 p.m. ET (6p.m. PT).
