WILSON, NC -- John McNeil has certainly been forced to take an unusual path to freedom. 11Alive went to talk with McNeil about his time in prison, his overturned conviction and the plea deal that would eventually allow him to go home. But what we found wasn't a murder case, but a love story.

RELATED | John McNeil free, 6 years after murder conviction

Here's the history of his case: In 2005, his son called him in a panic after he says a contractor, Brian Epp, waiving a knife threatened to kill him. McNeil raced home, calling 911 to alert police to what was going on, only to be confronted by Epp himself in his driveway.
