In this powerful debut episode of Wrongfully Yours, host Kelly Lauzon sits down with Jamie Nelson. A Canadian man who experienced wrongful conviction, exoneration, and yet remains an unwavering advocate for justice. Jamie shares the deeply personal story behind his wrongful conviction: a fabricated allegation rooted in a custody battle, a justice system primed to believe the worst, and the harrowing experience of being treated as guilty from the moment of arrest.
With raw honesty and strength, Jamie walks us through the events that led to his arrest, the trauma of pre-trial detention, and the courtroom dynamics that ultimately led to his conviction despite a strong alibi and a lack of physical evidence. This is a conversation not only about injustice, but about resilience, fatherhood, and the ripple effect of wrongful convictions.
