According to Ashley Cohen, a seasoned civil rights litigator, her work is driven by a deep commitment to justice and standing up for those wrongfully accused. She stresses the importance of detailed investigations and solid, evidence-based cases. Being directly involved in collecting details and understanding each case can unveil patterns of misconduct and systemic errors often overlooked. Ashley believes that the transformative effect of this meticulous approach not only secures exonerations but also influences broader legal reforms.
In this episode of 15 Minutes, Chad Franzen talks with Ashley Cohen, Managing Partner at Bonjean Law Group, about her relentless pursuit of justice in wrongful conviction cases.

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.
