Podcasts about wrongful convictions

In Season 1 of Bone Valley, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gilbert King tells a story of a man, Leo Schofield, fighting to prove his innocence in the case of his wife Michelle’s murder. In Season 2, “JEREMY” Gilbert King brings us a story about her actual killer, Jeremy Scott, fighting to prove his guilt. The State of Florida does not believe either man. Bone Valley Season 3 | GRAVES COUNTY is a new story about a new case. A story that shares many familiar themes with the first two seasons of Bone Valley - an unspeakable crime, a dubious investigation, half-truths that ensnare innocent people, and heartbroken families caught in the middle. GRAVES COUNTY is hosted by Maggie Freleng, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and one of the hosts of Lava For Good’s Wrongful Conviction and is executive produced by Gilbert King. Maggie is going to take us to a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, where a terrible discovery on the front lawn of a middle school invites a string of amateur and professional investigators to try to solve a murder. Maggie is the latest investigator to get pulled in. And she’ll take all of us along as she teases out this complicated web of rumors and lies, and perhaps even the truth.

In 2023, Brian Anderson was exonerated -- 50 years after he was convicted of a murder he did not commit. Rosanna sits down for the first of this season's conversations with Brian and others involved in his case. We hear how the story of this miscarriage of justice is inspiring advocates to challenge and change a flawed legal system.

18-year-old Jessica Currin’s burned and decomposing body was discovered on August 1, 2000 behind Mayfield Middle School in Mayfield, KY. Jessica had lacerations on the back of her head, nose and chin, and stab wounds. The medical examiner also believed she had been strangled but there was no evidence to support this theory. The case went cold for a few years, until a couple of supposed eyewitnesses came forward, motivated by promises of reward money, and told inconsistent stories that they and multiple others had kidnapped, killed, and raped Jessica. They said Quincy Cross was one of the people involved, and that he was the person who hit and strangled Jessica. Based on this unreliable testimony, as well as a jailhouse snitch, and despite a lack of physical evidence connecting him to this crime, Quincy was convicted of the kidnapping, rape and murder of Jessica Currin and was sentenced to life in prison without parole. Maggie Freleng talks to Quincy Cross and Miranda Hellman, Quincy's attorney.

  “I was in prison for 21 years, one month, eight days.”  Justice can fracture lives when incentives reward case-closure over truth. This conversation unpacks coerced confessions, buried evidence, and the long tail of consequences that follow an exoneration—housing denials, job barriers, and the quiet administrative ghosts that never fully clear. It's also a study in resilience: knowledge, community investment, and purposeful work as a path forward.  From the guest's side, the story spans a 1992 double-homicide investigation, a cascade of forced statements, and 21 years, one month, eight days incarcerated. The turning point hinged on withheld lockup records proving a co-defendant was in jail at the time of the murders. Post-release, the guest focused on learning law inside, then investing outside—rehabbing properties and backing a neighbourhood steakhouse—while candidly describing the lingering stigma of a vacated conviction.  Deon Patrick is a Chicago exoneree and co-author of The Hazel Boys, sharing first-person lessons on systemic failure, endurance, and rebuilding through investing and community revitalization.  Learn more & connect:    https://www.thehazelboyzbook.com/    Raymond Aaron has shared his vision and wisdom on radio and television programs for over 40 years.

Wrongful Convictions for Capital Crimes & You probably have a Smart Dog   

In 1966, middleweight boxing contender Rubin “Hurricane” Carter was arrested for a triple murder he swore he didn't commit. Convicted on shaky eyewitness testimony, Carter's career and freedom were stolen at the height of his rise. For nearly two decades, he fought the system from behind bars—writing a powerful memoir, gaining support from activists, and eventually winning his release when courts ruled his conviction was driven by racial prejudice and withheld evidence. This is the story of how a champion boxer became one of America's most famous victims of wrongful conviction.The One Minute Remaining LIVE show in Melbourne tix on sale NOWBecome a Patreon or Apple + subscriber now for ealry and ad free access from as little as $1.69 a week.

In the late 80’s and early 90’s, the US found itself wrapped up in the “Satanic Panic” - a general state of fear revolving around Satanism and satanic ritual, real or imagined. On May 5th, 1993, in West Memphis, AR, three 8-year-old boys—Steven Branch, Michael Moore, and Christopher Byers—were reported missing. Their lifeless bodies were found the following day in a Robin Hood Hills creek, naked and hogtied. Christopher Byers had suffered lacerations, and his genitals had been mutilated. Details of the bizarre and brutal scene in Robin Hood Hills brought Satanic Panic to a fever pitch in the largely conservative Christian city of West Memphis. Coming off their first film success with Brother’s Keeper, documentarians Joe Berlinger and Bruce Sinofsky were tapped by HBO documentaries to head down to get the story. Joe Berlinger sits with Jason Flom and recalls his experience of the case, the moments that inspired his fight for criminal justice reform, and the films and events that have helped shape public opinion of wrongful convictions.

In Sickness and In Chains: The Human Cost of Prison Medical Neglect w/ Darwin PageIn this episode, we sit down with Darwin Page, who endured a devastating medical ordeal while incarcerated in Michigan's prison system. What began as a surgery spiraled into a nightmare of infections, untreated complications, and neglect so severe that he lost his right toe and required further surgery on the heel of both of his feet. Darwin's story is not an isolated incident—it's part of a much larger pattern of systemic medical abuse and neglect inside the Michigan Department of Corrections.We connect Darwin's experience to the ongoing case of Krystal Denise Clark, who is currently housed at Women's Huron Valley Correctional Facility, who is now fighting for her life after years of untreated medical conditions and exposure to toxic mold. Her case, like Darwin's, reveals the deadly consequences of a prison healthcare system that routinely fails those in its custody.Together, their stories highlight the urgent truth: incarceration should not be a death sentence, and denying medical care is both a moral failure and a human rights violation. Also joining us is Lukey Lawson who was recently exonerated.***Turning A Moment Into A Movement Podcast MISSION:To bring awareness, organize, and create content that will be a resource that will aide families, communities, and those seeking Justice for WRONGFUL CONVICTIONS and Injustice. ...and advocating for Justice & Exoneration for GERARD HAYCRAFT. www.change.org/Justice4GerardTurning A Moment Ino A Moment Team:-Jay Love Host: Founder and Creator of Turning A Moment Into A Movement, The Justice for Gerard Movement, to learn more about The Justice for Gerard Movement go to: ⁠www.change.org/Justice4Gerard⁠Executive Board member of Michigan Coalition of Human Rights, G100 Prison Reforms & Reintegration Global Advisory Council Member-Rev.

Calvin "Cal" Harris was charged with the murder of his estranged wife Michele Harris, who disappeared in September 2001 from their home in Spencer, NY. Despite no body being found, Cal was tried four times and eventually acquitted in 2016. He later filed federal and state lawsuits alleging malicious prosecution and evidence fabrication. His case highlights investigative tunnel vision, suppressed evidence, and ongoing questions about who was truly responsible for Michele's disappearance.

In the latest episode of Everyday Injustice, Tony Viola, a former Cleveland real estate professional, shares his story of being wrongly accused and convicted in what was billed as the nation's largest mortgage fraud case. Viola was indicted in both state and federal court, accused of stealing $46 million, and cast in the media as the architect of a massive scheme that he says never existed. Viola described how prosecutors pressed forward despite banks stating they suffered no losses and despite evidence showing he had no connection to the companies at the center of the case. He said the government relied on informant testimony, pursued a faulty narrative, and engaged in intimidation and misconduct. Missing evidence, undisclosed conflicts of interest, and the destruction of key materials made it impossible for him to mount a fair defense, he said. The case shifted when Dawn Pella, a staffer inside the prosecutor's office, came forward with evidence of misconduct, including emails that showed prosecutors knowingly relied on false testimony. Viola used that material to secure a victory in a second trial, though he spent 10 years in prison before being released. Pella, who was expected to testify on his behalf, later died under suspicious circumstances, and her computer containing key documents disappeared. Now exonerated, Viola has turned his experience into advocacy, calling for accountability and an end to prosecutorial immunity. He said his case highlights how systemic misconduct in the justice system is not limited to street-level crimes but extends to complex financial cases as well. “If it could happen to me, it could happen to anyone,” Viola said.

On February 1, 1997, Charles Newsome, a member of the 18th Street Group was murdered while driving through the Mayfair Apartments in West Memphis, AR. The city was caught in a wave of retaliatory violence between two groups: Foxwood and 18th Street. Kendric Gillum, who was loosely affiliated with Foxwood, became a suspect based on inconsistent and coerced witness testimony from a single eyewitness who initially told police that he did not see anyone at the scene of the crime. The State had no evidence Kendrick was ever at the crime scene, never established motive, and had the testimony of Tarsha LeFlore who confirmed he was with her at her apartment the night of the shooting. Nevertheless, Kendric was convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.

“Trying to Survive From Hell!” ....URGENT MEDICAL ALERT — KRYSTAL DENISE CLARKIn this urgent episode, we break down the life-or-death struggle of Krystal Denise Clark, a wrongfully incarcerated woman trapped inside Michigan's Women's Huron Valley Correctional Facility — a prison already under federal investigation for toxic mold, medical neglect, and human rights abuses. Krystal is now battling a confirmed invasive fungal infection (Aspergillus niger) — growing in both ears, her respiratory tract, and potentially her lungs. Recent infectious disease exams have revealed facial nerve palsy, visible facial swelling, a thyroid goiter, severe skin breakdown, and chronic respiratory symptoms. Doctors have warned she will not survive without immediate antifungal treatment and removal from the prison's mold-infested environment.Listeners will hear the disturbing medical timeline — from repeated failed treatments, ignored doctor's orders, and broken promises of care, to the June 24, 2025 federal court ruling acknowledging the dangerous prison conditions. We'll explain how MDOC's refusal to follow urgent medical recommendations is accelerating Krystal's decline and pushing her toward permanent disability or death.This is more than a prison health crisis — it's a civil rights emergency. We'll share ways you can help pressure officials, demand Krystal's release, and stand against systemic neglect that treats incarcerated lives as disposable.TO LEARN MORE ABOUT KRYSTAL CLARK:fightingforkrystalclark | Instagram, Facebook | Linktree***Turning A Moment Into A Movement Podcast MISSION:To bring awareness, organize, and create content that will be a resource that will aide families, communities, and those seeking Justice for WRONGFUL CONVICTIONS and Injustice. ...and advocating for Justice & Exoneration for GERARD HAYCRAFT. www.change.org/Justice4GerardTurning A Moment Ino A Moment Team:-Jay Love Host: Founder and Creator of Turning A Moment Into A Movement, The Justice for Gerard Movement, to learn more about The Justice for Gerard Movement go to: ⁠www.change.org/Justice4Gerard⁠Executive Board member of Michigan Coalition of Human Rights, G100 Prison Reforms & Reintegration Global Advisory Council Member-Rev.

On August 10th, 1994, a man and a woman were in a van in West Philadelphia, when two males approached. One blocked the passenger door, while the other shot the man before he could get out of the van. The witness identified 16 year old Johnny Berry from a photo, but rescinded the ID at a preliminary hearing. Inexplicably, Johnny was re-arrested and sent back to juvenile detention, where he met Tauheed Lloyd who had admitted to being one of the assailants. When Lloyd refused to clear Johnny's name, they fought. Months later, Lloyd was arrested in an unrelated incident, and his gun matched the murder weapon. Unaware of this evidence, Lloyd thought Johnny had snitched. In turn, he gave false testimony for leniency and out of spite, sending Johnny away for life without parole. Years later, Lloyd's attempted recantation was silenced by threats of perjury and another murder prosecution. It took a slew of Supreme Court rulings on juvenile life sentences and the Philadelphia CIU to right this wrong.

In June 1959, 12-year-old Lynne Harper disappeared from the small community of Clinton, Ontario. Two days later, her body was found in a wooded area near a rural concession road. What followed was one of the most infamous wrongful convictions in Canadian history.Steven Truscott, a 14-year-old classmate, was arrested, charged with Lynne's murder, and sentenced to death — all within weeks. For decades, Steven fought to clear his name, facing a justice system that refused to admit its mistakes. His case became a landmark example of wrongful conviction, influencing public opinion, legal reform, and how Canada handles cases involving young offenders.In this episode, we revisit the murder of Lynne Harper and the conviction that changed the life of Steven Truscott.

On July 12, 1994, 19-year old Steven Smith was killed after being struck by a single bullet to the head in Newport News, VA. Within weeks three individuals, two teenage boys, and one in his twenties, were arrested for the crime. Darryl Hunter, his older brother Nathaniel Pierce, and his friend Reginald Fletcher, were each tried and convicted solely on witness testimony.

On September 8, 1985, dozens gathered on Keeler Avenue in Chicago, IL for a friend's birthday party. In the early morning hours, while walking back to the party after getting cigarettes, 19-year-old Ivan Mena and 21-year-old Bouvier "Bobby" Garcia broke up a fight between 16-year-old Reynaldo “Scooby" Munoz and another partygoer. Munoz walked home after that fight, but Mena and Garcia returned to the party. Shortly after, around 4am, Mena and Garcia were shot. Garcia survived, but Mena did not. Within days, Munoz was arrested for the shooting, and as a result of misconduct from since-disgraced Chicago police detective Reynaldo Guevara and his partner Ernest Halvorsen, Munoz was tried, convicted, and sentenced to 60 years in prison.

In Season 1 of Bone Valley, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Gilbert King tells a story of a man, Leo Schofield, fighting to prove his innocence in the case of his wife Michelle’s murder. In Season 2, “JEREMY” Gilbert King brings us a story about her actual killer, Jeremy Scott, fighting to prove his guilt. The State of Florida does not believe either man. Bone Valley Season 3 | GRAVES COUNTY is a new story about a new case. A story that shares many familiar themes with the first two seasons of Bone Valley - an unspeakable crime, a dubious investigation, half-truths that ensnare innocent people, and heartbroken families caught in the middle. GRAVES COUNTY is hosted by Maggie Freleng, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and one of the hosts of Lava For Good’s Wrongful Conviction and is executive produced by Gilbert King. Maggie is going to take us to a small town in Graves County, Kentucky, where a terrible discovery on the front lawn of a middle school invites a string of amateur and professional investigators to try to solve a murder. Maggie is the latest investigator to get pulled in. And she’ll take all of us along as she teases out this complicated web of rumors and lies, and perhaps even the truth. Bone Valley Season 3 | GRAVES COUNTY will be available every Wednesday beginning July 30 wherever you get your podcasts. To binge the entire season, ad-free, starting July 30, subscribe to Lava for Good+ on Apple Podcasts. Bone Valley is a production of Lava for Good™ Podcasts in association with Signal Co.

July 8th: Michelle Moore-Bosko Body Found (Norfolk Four) (1997) Wrongful convictions are difficult to prove. On July 8th 1997 a woman's body was found in a case where there were clear issues from the very beginning of the investigation. Yet it would take decades to prove these missteps and even longer to free the innocent. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norfolk_Four, https://exonerate.org/victory/norfolk-four-derek-tice-danial-williams-joseph-dick-and-eric-wilson/, https://www.norfolkfour.com/, https://www.navytimes.com/news/your-navy/2018/12/04/settlement-reached-in-infamous-norfolk-4-case/, https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/article/norfolk-four-pardoned-20-years-after-false-confessions/, https://www.law.georgetown.edu/american-criminal-law-review/in-print/volume-56/confess-or-die-why-threatening-a-suspect-with-the-death-penalty-should-render-confessions-involuntary/, https://www.off-center.com/norfolk-4, https://www.13newsnow.com/article/news/crime/norfolk-commonwealths-attorney-uva-law-review-detective-robert-glenn-ford-cases/291-5d0ab8c3-e537-44fc-b617-d6c1cd2f0e5c Learn more about your ad choices.

In recognition of July 4th we want to highlight Clay Chabot, a Navy veteran who served almost 2 years on the USS Saratoga CVA-60 before he was honorably discharged. Veterans, even those who served their country honorably, are not immune to the shortcomings of our criminal justice system. On April 19, 1986, the body of a 28 year old woman was found in her bedroom in Garland, Texas. She had been tied, gagged, raped and shot three times. Clay Chabot, a friend of the victim's husband, became the main suspect after voluntarily providing information to the police about his brother-in-law, Gerald Pabst, who had visited the victim's home on the morning of the murder. Initially telling police that he had no involvement in the crime, Pabst later changed his story by claiming that Clay had forced him to tie up the victim before she was shot. Despite no physical evidence linking Clay to the crime, he was convicted of murder and sentenced to life in prison solely on the testimony of Gerald Pabst.

On September 15, 1988, there was an argument inside of Philadelphia, PA row house. As one party tried to leave, Everton Meade Johnson followed while making threats and was fatally shot. The victim's brother only knew one man at the row house, Trevor Mattis. But Trevor maintained that he was just a bystander and another eyewitness corroborated Trevor’s story.

On the morning of August 20, 2012, police and firefighters were called to a house fire in Detroit, MI. Bobby Cross and Darryl Simms died in the fire. Bobby’s long-term partner’s son, Duane Williams, was staying over the house that week, but he was not harmed in the fire. Rather, he was accused and ultimately charged with arson and felony murder. After some faulty expert testimony, an incentivized jailhouse witness and numerous Brady violations, Duane was convicted and sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole.

In part three of this three-part series, at Leonard’s trial in 1977 federal prosecutors changed the failed narrative from the Butler / Robideau trial, claiming that Leonard executed the agents with an AR15 that they claimed matched casings found near the bodies. Bruce Ellison and Ron Kuby explain how false evidence was used to secure a conviction that survived our appellate system and 8 presidencies. But through it all, Leonard never gave up, and with the help of tribal advocate Holly Macarro, he was finally granted clemency in the final minutes of the Biden Administration. The Wrongful Conviction of Leonard Peltier is a production of Lava For Good™ Podcasts in association with Signal Co. No1. It follows the January 2025 Sundance premiere of the documentary FREE LEONARD PELTIER, a searing investigation of the case from Public Square Films and directors David France and Jesse Short Bull.

Ben Bowlin, new co-host of Wrongful Conviction and host of the long-standing podcast Stuff the Don’t Want You to Know and Jason Flom from the Wrongful Conviction podcast had the honor of sitting down for many hours to speak with Leonard Peltier about his personal life, the historical context of the resistance movement and events that led to the attack on Jumping Bull Ranch in ‘75, as well as his near 50 year fight for justice that led to his sentence commutation in the final minutes of the Biden Administration. In part two of this three-part series, the FBI had such a large suspect list after the shootout on Jumping Bull Ranch that it included every native combat veteran in the area and even a 4-year-old. But soon the target list was narrowed down to Dino Butler, Bob Robideau, and Leonard Peltier. Both Butler and Robideau were soon arrested, tried, and acquitted, successfully arguing self defense. But Leonard tells us how he sought help from Marlon Brando, and asylum in Canada before the presentation of false evidence brought him back to the US to stand trial.
