Wrongful Conviction

About Wrongful Conviction

Hosted by celebrated criminal justice reform advocate and founding board member of the Innocence Project Jason Flom, Pulitzer prize-winning podcast host and producer Maggie Freleng, and Emmy Award-winning writer, producer and podcast host Lauren Bright Pacheco, Wrongful Conviction features intimate conversations with men and women who have spent years in prison for crimes they maintain they did not commit. Some have been fully exonerated and reunited with family and friends while others continue to languish, with some even facing execution on death row. Each episode peels back the layers behind the stories of those who have found themselves caught in a legal system gone wrong, with illuminating insights from lawyers and leading experts sharing their in-depth knowledge about each case, from prison visits and courtroom battles to reexamined crime scenes and witness interviews. This gripping series reveals the tragedy of injustice…as well as the triumph that is possible when people step up and demand change.

[…] I want to get to the aspect of your mental state because you seem to be somebody who's very calm, rational, thoughtful. Even I want to say you maintain a very real sense of hope in a situation that to a lot of people, I think it would just collapse and they would just, you know, and no one could blame you for that, right? I mean, to find yourself in a place like this for over 20 years. Yeah, well, it's not easy. And it's taken me a long time to get this calm. I'm forced in the situation. It's reality.
