Raven Abaroa, a man who was charged and convicted of killing his pregnant wife, Janet Abaroa, in their North Carolina home, was set free from prison after serving less than eight years behind bars.
A two-hour "20/20" dives into the details surrounding Janet's 2005 death; Raven's trial, hung jury and plea deal; the reactions of Janet's family and friends; and the impact that the original 2009
ABC News report had on the case.

ABC News anchor John Quiñones' interview with Vanessa Pond - Raven's ex-wife from his second marriage - from the
