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.
Wrongful conviction work is never simple, and it’s never without heartbreak.
In this follow-up conversation with civil rights attorney Deborah Francois, we go deeper into the impossible choices her small firm faces when deciding which cases to take on, the emotional toll of telling someone you believe they're innocent but can’t help because of legal or evidentiary barriers, and the staggering reality of what exoneration actually means.
Deborah also tackles the persistent myths: from those who still don’t believe wrongful convictions happen, to those who claim exonerations prove “the system works.” Together we unpack why both views miss the point, because justice is already lost the day an innocent person is wrongfully convicted.
Subscribe now wherever you get your podcasts and listen in on this important conversation about what’s missing, self-evident things like support systems, accountability, and recognition that exonerees should not be left to rebuild their lives on their own.
