1
00:00:01,639 --> 00:00:03,960
Speaker 1: I'm Lauren brag Pacheco, and I'm back for a new

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,680
Speaker 1: season of Wrongful Conviction. This season, we're confronting one of

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,039
Speaker 1: the greatest failures in our justice system. When innocent people

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 1: are sent to prison, almost no one is ever held accountable.

5
00:00:14,720 --> 00:00:16,720
Speaker 2: I have no clue with Joe, what the hell it

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 2: not involved in any kind of way. How am I

7
00:00:19,440 --> 00:00:21,720
Speaker 2: sposed to serve with scenates for something that I do.

8
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: An estimated five percent of people behind bars are innocent.

9
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:28,840
Speaker 1: That's more than one hundred thousand lives stolen.

10
00:00:29,320 --> 00:00:32,319
Speaker 3: They don't need concrete evidence to bind You're guilty here.

11
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:35,000
Speaker 3: It's like they don't take a human life serious.

12
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: You know, these aren't statistics. They're real people stripped of

13
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,600
Speaker 1: their freedom, families, and futures by a system that promises

14
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:47,000
Speaker 1: innocent until proven guilty, but far too often delivers the opposite.

15
00:00:47,200 --> 00:00:50,440
Speaker 4: It was physically impossible. Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn't throw a dead

16
00:00:50,440 --> 00:00:52,760
Speaker 4: body forty five feet, But I also knew I was

17
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 4: based on the blood types.

18
00:00:54,800 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 1: We've known for decades. Why it happens? I witness misidentification,

19
00:00:58,960 --> 00:01:03,560
Speaker 1: coerced confessions, junk science, official misconduct, and yet it keeps

20
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:07,319
Speaker 1: happening with almost no consequences for those responsible.

21
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,120
Speaker 5: Qualified immunity is a huge issue. I don't see how

22
00:01:11,360 --> 00:01:15,280
Speaker 5: prosecutors or police can ever really be held accountable the

23
00:01:15,360 --> 00:01:16,919
Speaker 5: longest there's this immunity.

24
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:19,680
Speaker 1: So the question remains, how do we stop it?

25
00:01:20,040 --> 00:01:22,640
Speaker 4: They say someday everybody's going to be judged by God.

26
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,000
Speaker 3: I wonder are they going to step up and say,

27
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,720
Speaker 3: you know, there's something wrong back then?

28
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:30,480
Speaker 1: This season we're asking what real accountability looks like for

29
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,680
Speaker 1: the wrongfully convicted and for the people fighting to bring

30
00:01:33,720 --> 00:01:34,119
Speaker 1: them home.

31
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 6: My daughters, they have to grow up without being Hopefully,

32
00:01:37,959 --> 00:01:41,040
Speaker 6: one day I'll be homes with most you know.

33
00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:44,759
Speaker 1: The new season of Wrongful Conviction with Lauren Bright Pacheco
