Focuses on the personal narratives and systemic issues surrounding wrongful convictions, with episodes featuring stories of exonerees like Jamie Nelson discussing the emotional and psychological effects of incarceration and transformation during their time in prison.
A place where I host conversations with people who have been impacted by wrongful convictions – sometimes this is an exoneree, a family member of an exoneree, a justice official, a filmmaker, a student…I’m really open to speaking with anyone because I think we all have such interesting and unique perspectives to bring around this issue in an effort to challenge assumptions, surface uncomfortable truths, and foster critical thinking about how justice is pursued and portrayed.
In this gripping episode of Wrongfully Yours, Eric Anderson shares the shocking story of how he became entangled in a wrongful conviction — all after being the victim of a shooting.
As a 20-year-old college student pursuing his dreams in computer engineering, Eric was simply in the wrong place at the wrong time when he was struck by a stray bullet at a Detroit restaurant. But instead of being treated as a victim, Eric was arrested 10 days later and accused of committing an armed robbery — one that occurred miles away from where he was shot.
Eric walks us through the disbelief, confusion, and injustice that followed: from being interrogated without a lawyer, to taking a polygraph test he was told he “failed,” to being misidentified based on a Facebook photo by someone he didn’t even know personally. Despite medical records, geographic inconsistencies, and glaring flaws in witness accounts, Eric was charged and held in jail.
