For The Innocent |
Hosted by Michael Semanchik, For the Innocent features heartbreaking first-person accounts of exonerees like NFL Football player Brian Banks about their experiences of being wrongfully convicted. Then legal and criminal experts help us understand what went wrong. Expert guests provide insights about our criminal justice system and how wrongful convictions become a terrible reality.
Hear why innocent people falsely confess, what causes misidentifications, and how our science like bite marks, shaken baby syndrome and DNA can used to convict people. Season One and Two are now available.
