Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hello, this is a free call from an incarcerated individual
at Save.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Built Correctional Center.

Speaker 3 (00:07):
This call is subject to recording and monitoring. I've spent
years talking to people who have been accused of crimes
they say they didn't commit. And one thing I've learned
is that all of us are more than the worst
thing that's ever happened to us.

Speaker 2 (00:25):
So he told me, if the jury comes out and
they refuse to look you in the eye, you're pretty
much guaranteed that they're going to find you guilty. And
that's exactly what happened.

Speaker 1 (00:33):
And it was not even a second after that that
they were dragging her out and I'm trying to reach
over the banister and grab her hands, and you know,
everybody's crying. Everybody's screaming, and they wouldn't even matter saying
about it.

Speaker 4 (00:46):
We're family.

Speaker 3 (00:48):
I'm Maggie Freeling, Pulitzer Prize winning journalists and host of
Wrongful Conviction with Maggie Freeling, and I'm back with more
stories from people who refuse to be defined by tragedy.
Does your girlfriend spoil you? Yes, you do.

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Honestly, I'm a miss like waking up to breakfast and
coffee and stuff like that.

Speaker 4 (01:07):
I was just thinking, like, damn, what was it.

Speaker 2 (01:09):
Like being a little brother to two older sisters.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
Do you have any younger siblings? You should ask them.
You'll hear from advocates fighting for justice.

Speaker 4 (01:19):
There's more than one way to lynch a men and
what they're doing with wrongful incarceration. That's called a milon
day lynch.

Speaker 5 (01:29):
When you're on the front lines of the system and
you see the injustice that occurs, I think it's an
obligation on all judges to.

Speaker 3 (01:37):
Speak up and from those suffering the consequences of an
archaic legal system. My name is Tom Rhodes, mar Tanya Miller,
Marty Levenston.

Speaker 5 (01:49):
I was wrongfy convicted for fifteen.

Speaker 1 (01:50):
Years, twenty four, twenty three.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Nineteen eighteen years for krama didn't commit.

Speaker 3 (01:55):
