When "Probable" Becomes Problematic: The Legal Path to a Wrongful Conviction & Krystal Clark w/ Exoneree Larry Smith and Attorney Pamela Rice-Campbell

What happens when a hunch is mistaken for evidence—and a man loses decades of his life because of it?

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Larry Darnell Smith, a Detroit native who was wrongfully convicted and spent over 26 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. His arrest was based on what the courts called probable cause—but what Larry and many legal experts now see as a failure of justice. Alongside Larry is Attorney Pamela Rice-Campbell. Together, they unpack how vague police suspicions, flawed procedures, and systemic bias can turn "probable cause" into a life sentence for the innocent. From courtroom battles to emotional aftermath, this episode reveals the hidden dangers of a legal standard that too often escapes scrutiny.

If you've ever wondered how easily justice can be derailed—this is the story you need to hear. ....and updates on Krystal Clark
