Wrongfully Yours

A place where I host conversations with people who have been impacted by wrongful convictions - sometimes this is an exoneree, a family member of an exoneree, a justice official, a filmmaker, a student...I"m really open to speaking with anyone because I think we all have such interesting and unique perspectives to bring around this issue in an effort to challenge assumptions, surface uncomfortable truths, and foster critical thinking about how justice is pursued and portrayed.

Coming March 3 on Wrongfully Yours Wrongful convictions often stem from a rush to judgment, but as Dr. Jan Canty reminds us in this episode, assumptions also plague homicide survivors. There are many invisible burdens they have to carry on top of their profound grief. From “you’ll be over it in a year” to “you’re broken forever,” these assumptions do real harm. Add to that the silence that often follows when the casseroles stop coming. The isolation can be immense. Full episode drops March 3....
