Wrongful Conviction, with Jason Flom

iHeartPodcasts
About this episode

Nowadays virtually everyone can agree the US Justice system has profound, serious issues -- the problem is people just don't agree on how to address them. In this special interview, Ben, Matt and Noel sit down with Jason Flom, the creator and host of Wrongful Conviction, to learn more about tragic and terrifying cases of the legal system gone awry. People imprisoned for decades, only to later be found innocent. People convicted of crimes they were physically incapable of committing. The list goes on. Perhaps most importantly, Jason shares his insight on what we as individuals can do to help drive positive change.
