Podcast Insights
Content Themes
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.
Sometimes the truth is sitting quietly in the case file, waiting for someone to notice it.
Investigative journalist and defense investigator Daniel Grothaus explains how, in several innocence cases, the key witness had already been named in the police reports. The problem? No one ever spoke to them. Not the police, not the prosecutor, and not the defense.
In three cases, Grothaus tracked down witnesses who had been mentioned in just a single line of a report. When he finally spoke with them decades later, their testimony helped prove that the convicted person was innocent.
This episode explores how missed details and overlooked witnesses can change the course of a case.
