Thank you for making us aware of the innocent that are convicted. I’m so sorry this could be done from our legal system.
This podcast has blown me away, I never knew so many people could spend so much time in prison for something they didnt do. So unfair.
Big fan of the show, the interviews, the heartbreaking but inspiring stories, the work done by all of the Innocence Networks around the country - everyone must be informed and speak up for real Justice for the wrongfully convicted.
I love this podcast, I can't believe so many innocent people are locked away. I have so much respect for these people.
