In December 2023, Rice's conviction was overturnedWEB, Quinn, Liam, Man Imprisoned as Teen Has Conviction Overturned Following Exposé on Incompetent Lawyer by CNN's Jake Tapper,weblink People, Dotdash Meredith, 17 January 2024, November 29, 2023, and in March 2024, Rice was exonerated.

Rice, a Philadelphian who had been in prison since 2011 whose case became prominent after Tapper wrote a cover story for The Atlantic called "This Is Not Justice; A Philadelphia Teenager and the Empty Promise of the Sixth Amendment." In the story, Tapper argued that Rice's defense attorney had been so incompetent, he had been denied Constitutional guarantees of counsel. Rice had been arrested for a 2011 shooting crime despite the fact that his pediatrician, Tapper's father, Dr. Theodore S. Tapper, testified that he could barely walk, let alone run, because he himself was recovering from a shooting, but this and so many other exonerating facts made no difference at trial because of his inadequate representation. After the story was published and Tapper covered the case on CNN and as a guest on CBS This Morning, the District Attorney ordered an internal investigation of the crime and ultimately granted a habeas petition from Rice's attorney. His conviction was overturned in December 2023, and he was exonerated in March 2024.Tapper made a cameo in the Halloween-themed episode of The Rookie (October 30, 2022).
