WEBVTT - Introducing - Wrongful Conviction with Lauren Bright Pacheco | Season 2

0:00:01.639 --> 0:00:03.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm Lauren brag Pacheco, and I'm back for a new

0:00:04.000 --> 0:00:07.680
<v Speaker 1>season of Wrongful Conviction. This season, we're confronting one of

0:00:07.680 --> 0:00:11.039
<v Speaker 1>the greatest failures in our justice system. When innocent people

0:00:11.080 --> 0:00:14.520
<v Speaker 1>are sent to prison, almost no one is ever held accountable.

0:00:14.720 --> 0:00:16.720
<v Speaker 2>I have no clue with Joe, what the hell it

0:00:17.360 --> 0:00:19.400
<v Speaker 2>not involved in any kind of way. How am I

0:00:19.440 --> 0:00:21.720
<v Speaker 2>sposed to serve with scenates for something that I do.

0:00:22.440 --> 0:00:26.200
<v Speaker 1>An estimated five percent of people behind bars are innocent.

0:00:26.360 --> 0:00:28.840
<v Speaker 1>That's more than one hundred thousand lives stolen.

0:00:29.320 --> 0:00:32.319
<v Speaker 3>They don't need concrete evidence to bind You're guilty here.

0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:35.000
<v Speaker 3>It's like they don't take a human life serious.

0:00:35.240 --> 0:00:38.640
<v Speaker 1>You know, these aren't statistics. They're real people stripped of

0:00:38.680 --> 0:00:42.600
<v Speaker 1>their freedom, families, and futures by a system that promises

0:00:42.760 --> 0:00:47.000
<v Speaker 1>innocent until proven guilty, but far too often delivers the opposite.

0:00:47.200 --> 0:00:50.440
<v Speaker 4>It was physically impossible. Arnold Schwarzenegger couldn't throw a dead

0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:52.760
<v Speaker 4>body forty five feet, But I also knew I was

0:00:53.159 --> 0:00:54.640
<v Speaker 4>based on the blood types.

0:00:54.800 --> 0:00:58.720
<v Speaker 1>We've known for decades. Why it happens? I witness misidentification,

0:00:58.960 --> 0:01:03.560
<v Speaker 1>coerced confessions, junk science, official misconduct, and yet it keeps

0:01:03.600 --> 0:01:07.319
<v Speaker 1>happening with almost no consequences for those responsible.

0:01:07.640 --> 0:01:11.120
<v Speaker 5>Qualified immunity is a huge issue. I don't see how

0:01:11.360 --> 0:01:15.280
<v Speaker 5>prosecutors or police can ever really be held accountable the

0:01:15.360 --> 0:01:16.919
<v Speaker 5>longest there's this immunity.

0:01:17.280 --> 0:01:19.680
<v Speaker 1>So the question remains, how do we stop it?

0:01:20.040 --> 0:01:22.640
<v Speaker 4>They say someday everybody's going to be judged by God.

0:01:22.959 --> 0:01:25.000
<v Speaker 3>I wonder are they going to step up and say,

0:01:25.040 --> 0:01:26.720
<v Speaker 3>you know, there's something wrong back then?

0:01:27.000 --> 0:01:30.480
<v Speaker 1>This season we're asking what real accountability looks like for

0:01:30.520 --> 0:01:33.680
<v Speaker 1>the wrongfully convicted and for the people fighting to bring

0:01:33.720 --> 0:01:34.119
<v Speaker 1>them home.

0:01:34.600 --> 0:01:37.880
<v Speaker 6>My daughters, they have to grow up without being Hopefully,

0:01:37.959 --> 0:01:41.040
<v Speaker 6>one day I'll be homes with most you know.

0:01:41.959 --> 0:01:44.759
<v Speaker 1>The new season of Wrongful Conviction with Lauren Bright Pacheco

0:01:45.040 --> 0:01:52.400
