Episode 5: Transforming the System
On this week’s episode, Voices of Innocence sits down with Caitlin Swain. Caitlin is a Duke Law graduate who worked on Dontae’s case in the Wrongful Convictions Clinic under Theresa Newman and James Coleman. She discusses how she met Dontae, how he changed the trajectory of her life, and how he inspired the creation of Forward Justice. Currently, Caitlin works alongside Dontae at Forward Justice, a non-profit in Durham that seeks to advance racial justice. Caitlin qualifies Dontae’s desire to make a positive change within the criminal justice system through his work at Forward Justice and provides ways for the listeners to support the non-profits mission.

Episode 4: The Usual Suspects
This week Megan talks with Duke Law professors Jamie Lau and Jim Coleman about their work in the Duke Law Wrongful Convictions Clinic.

Duke Law professor Brandon Garrett also joins to talk about witness recantations and potential policy solutions. This project was made over a period of years with contributions from students throughout the law school.
