Image 1 / 10

Returning for a gripping fifth series, ‘I Almost Got Away With It' profiles dangerous criminals who did everything in their power to stay out of prison and live life on the run. Recounting the stories of perpetrators who evaded justice for years, sometimes even decades, by using their families, fake identification and even violence to avoid capture, each episode features interviews from prison with these wily culprits and the law enforcement officers assigned to catch them. This series, meet teenage robber Nicholas Johnson, who used smuggled knife blades to cut through the bars of his cell and slip past the prison's high-level security system. How was he eventually caught? After killing a man in a fight over money, meth addict Jerry Wright goes on the run. Where did he hide? Plus, how did James Wiley escape justice for the murder of his step-mum and three young brothers?
