Court Junkie

Imagine being wrongfully convicted for a crime you didn"t commit, or imagine your child"s killer is still on the loose even though there"s enough evidence for an arrest. I want to help shine light on the injustices of our judicial system. I delve into court documents, attend trials, and interview those close to the case to help me tell their stories.
