    Nothing like how you began this pod years ago, which was very riveting.

    Now it’s just more employees for you to support & lots of jawjacking blather. No more freeing the innocent. Just rehash “investigation”. Unfollowed

  • Good Cause, Good Pod

    An investigative and crowd sourced pod that tries to exonerate the wrongly convicted. Bob Ruff is an amateur investigator who relies on us to help him with research and theories. He's a brave man and I'm a proud supporter.

  • Unique insightful podcast

    I absolutely love this podcast. I started listening after listening to Serial and heard a documentary that Bob was on. I was hooked after the 1st season. It is a tragedy that there are so many wrongful convictions out there. I absolutely love listening to each season. I do not care what Bob’s political views are and I believe he does a great job not really bringing that nonsense into the podcast. I feel he presents the cases as unbiased as he can. Anyone who complains please make your own podcas... more

  • I think people miss the point

    I think the fact that this is a live update show that often progresses week by week is lost on a lot of people. Sometimes Bob has to do filler episodes because they are waiting for things to happen in real time. I lean right in my politics but I also understand the criminal justice system is shot. It is kind of annoying to hear about people’s feelings all the time. I understand victims are the most important thing, and that needs to be handled sensitively. However, Janet apologizing every time s... more

  • Truth and ADs with….

    I cannot recommend this podcast anymore. Two hours worth of info, spread out in an entire season. Way more fluff than substance in the past three seasons. The hosts seem like nice people though.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S18 Ep2: Follow-Up S18: E2
Q: What would Bob consider if an innocent person in prison was likely to die soon?
He feels a moral obligation to fight for their exoneration, but also struggles with the resources needed for other living cases.
S18 Ep2: Follow-Up S18: E2
Q: Can someone officially, legally, be exonerated posthumously?
Yes, but it varies by state and jurisdiction.
S18 Ep3: Andrea Burkhart - Delphi Trial
Q: How do you think this trial may have gone differently if it were in your home state of Washington?
It depends on the judge, honestly, because the judge has an enormous influence over how the trial goes and what evidence is permitted.
S18 Ep3: Andrea Burkhart - Delphi Trial
Q: What is your position on the case, and what was it about the trial that led you to that position?
I certainly don't think the conviction is warranted, and I personally am not at all confident that Richard Allen is guilty or even had anything to do with this crime at all.
S18 Ep1: Know Your Rights
Q: What is a lawful order regarding police interactions?
A police officer can lawfully order you to produce your driver's license during a traffic stop and you must comply.
