Episode Transcript
I'm Lauren brag Pacheco, and I'm back for a new
season of Wrongful Conviction. This season, we're confronting one of
the greatest failures in our justice system. When innocent people
are sent to prison, almost no one is ever held accountable.
Speaker 2 (00:14):
I have no clue with Joe, what the hell it
not involved in any kind of way. How am I
sposed to serve with scenates for something that I do.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
An estimated five percent of people behind bars are innocent.
That's more than one hundred thousand lives stolen.
Speaker 3 (00:29):
They don't need concrete evidence to bind You're guilty here.
It's like they don't take a human life serious.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
You know, these aren't statistics. They're real people stripped of
their freedom, families, and futures by a system that promises
innocent until proven guilty, but far too often delivers the opposite.
Speaker 4 (00:47):
It was physically impossible. Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn't throw a dead
body forty five feet, But I also knew I was
based on the blood types.
Speaker 1 (00:54):
We've known for decades. Why it happens? I witness misidentification,
coerced confessions, junk science, official misconduct, and yet it keeps
happening with almost no consequences for those responsible.
Speaker 5 (01:07):
Qualified immunity is a huge issue. I don't see how
prosecutors or police can ever really be held accountable the
longest there's this immunity.
Speaker 1 (01:17):
So the question remains, how do we stop it?
Speaker 4 (01:20):
They say someday everybody's going to be judged by God.
Speaker 3 (01:22):
I wonder are they going to step up and say,
you know, there's something wrong back then?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
This season we're asking what real accountability looks like for
the wrongfully convicted and for the people fighting to bring
them home.
Speaker 6 (01:34):
My daughters, they have to grow up without being Hopefully,
one day I'll be homes with most you know.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
