Speaker 1: Hello, this is a free call from an incarcerated individual
Speaker 1: at Save.
Speaker 2: Built Correctional Center.
Speaker 3: This call is subject to recording and monitoring. I've spent
Speaker 3: years talking to people who have been accused of crimes
Speaker 3: they say they didn't commit. And one thing I've learned
Speaker 3: is that all of us are more than the worst
Speaker 3: thing that's ever happened to us.
Speaker 2: So he told me, if the jury comes out and
Speaker 2: they refuse to look you in the eye, you're pretty
Speaker 2: much guaranteed that they're going to find you guilty. And
Speaker 2: that's exactly what happened.
Speaker 1: And it was not even a second after that that
Speaker 1: they were dragging her out and I'm trying to reach
Speaker 1: over the banister and grab her hands, and you know,
Speaker 1: everybody's crying. Everybody's screaming, and they wouldn't even matter saying
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 4: We're family.
Speaker 3: I'm Maggie Freeling, Pulitzer Prize winning journalists and host of
Speaker 3: Wrongful Conviction with Maggie Freeling, and I'm back with more
Speaker 3: stories from people who refuse to be defined by tragedy.
Speaker 3: Does your girlfriend spoil you? Yes, you do.
Speaker 2: Honestly, I'm a miss like waking up to breakfast and
Speaker 2: coffee and stuff like that.
Speaker 4: I was just thinking, like, damn, what was it.
Speaker 2: Like being a little brother to two older sisters.
Speaker 3: Do you have any younger siblings? You should ask them.
Speaker 3: You'll hear from advocates fighting for justice.
Speaker 4: There's more than one way to lynch a men and
Speaker 4: what they're doing with wrongful incarceration. That's called a milon
Speaker 4: day lynch.
Speaker 5: When you're on the front lines of the system and
Speaker 5: you see the injustice that occurs, I think it's an
Speaker 5: obligation on all judges to.
Speaker 3: Speak up and from those suffering the consequences of an
Speaker 3: archaic legal system. My name is Tom Rhodes, mar Tanya Miller,
Speaker 3: Marty Levenston.
Speaker 5: I was wrongfy convicted for fifteen.
Speaker 1: Years, twenty four, twenty three.
Speaker 2: Nineteen eighteen years for krama didn't commit.
