I have to point out that, while reading one- and two-star ratings, a pattern emerged. The bad reviews mostly came from people saying that one of the wrongly convicted somehow deserved it because of what they knew about the case. Excuse me? Did you not get the message? It doesn't matter what a person has done in the past or where they come from when they are INNOCENT. Due to 40 years in Jungian analysis, I am guessing these comments are projections from law enforcement, the family of crooked law, or prosecutors, medical examiners, and witnesses who lied because they “ know “ X person is guilty. I get it, no one wants to look so egotistical, with a sense of entitlement that is stunning to most of society because they truly believe they can't be wrong. Prosecutors are untouchable; there are 0 consequences for anything they lie, withhold, or make up. When you have any system where someone is granted power without consequences corruption happens. I've had clients who have lost everything due to a lie or a false accusation, and the psychological toll it takes on them is devastating to watch. Unfortunately for this country, the TELL A VISION has allowed the illusion of what our justice system should look like vs. the reality of what it is.

I did not expect to like this podcast, because I just do not deal with injustice very well. The thought of having to listen to these innocent people go through DECADES OF HELL ON EARTH just made me so angry. Even though they are exonerated in the end, I didn’t think I could handle it. Let me tell you, I WAS WRONG! As angry as I get for these wrongfully accused, convicted, imprisoned (usually) men…I REJOICE in the tables turning and JUSTICE, TRUE JUSTICE FINALLY BEING SERVED!!! Listening to episode 009 now, and I just heard that the judge presiding over his case got sent to prison himself!!! Now THAT is a comeuppance I can get behind. This show is SO well put together, Mr. Flom is an EXCELLENT host & interviewer. The guests really all tell amazing stories about how they PROVED they were INNOCENT. Against all odds. Kudos! I will be listening to this podcast (binging. Let’s just say binging) for a long time. Amazing job, all!

Thank you for making us aware of the innocent that are convicted. I’m so sorry this could be done from our legal system.

This podcast has blown me away, I never knew so many people could spend so much time in prison for something they didnt do. So unfair.

Big fan of the show, the interviews, the heartbreaking but inspiring stories, the work done by all of the Innocence Networks around the country - everyone must be informed and speak up for real Justice for the wrongfully convicted.

I love the show please keep going what you’re doing!

Thank you Maggie thank you Jason thank you Lauren thank you Steve thank you. The fight to overturn wrongful convictions is one of the most important fights in this generation.

To many ads

After listening to this podcast for years, it seems the justice system and the people in control of it is worried more about procedures that actual innocence.

What this team has done and continues to do is so inspiring. Once I was able to get my children through school I decided to take their advice as well as that of others and quit talking about what I could’ve done and do it, I am now a near 2nd-year law student with intentions on starting a clinic to offer free or low-cost representation to those that unable to retain it. Under or misrepresentation has led to too many people’s lives and the lives of their loved ones being negatively impacted causing an all too often ripple effect. Growing up in the system myself there are too many crimes either over or under-punished and a lot of that has to do with the inability to obtain appropriate legal advice and or retain representation. The people associated with the Innocence Project or fighting to right the wrongs of our justice system do so selflessly and I cannot stress the need for people to support them in the cause.

Yeah, maybe a few of people from the different episodes were wrongly convicted but it's crazy to me on how many of the facts were left out on the Christopher Vaughn. I mean, if you look at all the facts in the case one might have a different opinion about him being innocent. It's too bad because the few cases that the people really might be innocent are being washed away with not giving all the facts in other cases. I think it's interesting to have so many interviews but Chris Vaughn is where he should be...in prison for life. Please give ALL the facts not just what makes your case for innocence

This is one of my favorite ever podcasts. It is so interesting and simulataneously heartbreaking to hear these real stories of wrongful convictions- some who have been in prison for 30 years for crimes they did not commit. Wrongful Convictions Podcast works together with the Innocence Project who advocates for these people through pro bono work and sifting through document after document, and evidence to prove that these people did not do what they were accused of. Innocence Project does really important justice work as the justice system has failed so many of these people. Give it a listen! I couldn’t recommend it enough!!

This is a good podcast which highlights many cases of possible/probable false convictions. The issue is it is too slanted in that direction and doesn’t present arguments fairly. For example, on the Atif Rafay episode it ignores any evidence against Atif and Sebastian (Sebastian changed the murder weapon in a high school play to a bat from a rope and the killings were done with a bat, Sebastian’s fingerprints were found on the tipped over boxes, etc) and mentions an informant pointed to another suspect without mentioning three informants pointed to three different unrelated suspects so at least two of those tips were made up). Overall, it commits the same sin as the justice system: ignoring evidence that goes against its narrative.

One of the best, if not THE BEST crime/criminal justice shows out there. Episode # 340 is especially heartbreaking. The guy, John Giuca, is still in prison for something that the deaf, dumb, and blind could see he did not do. Keep up the great work

I enjoy every episode of this show and deeply empathize with all of the wrongly convicted individuals out there. Absolutely loved the most recent episode guest hosted by Conner Hall. He is hilarious and the show made my day today.

It is unbelievable that there are so many wrongly convicted individuals. I have listened to about 50 Podcasts so far, and say the same words after every hour - unbelievable! I have gotten pretty good at shouting out Brady Violation, before the host can point it out. Lastly, I really enjoy when the guest tells us what their first meal was when the were released. Thank you for this work.

Love how well this show exposes the stories and truths about the “criminal justice” systems of the USA. I just listened to the episode with Eric Brown and thought it was so revealing and clear that I felt compelled to review. Have listened to many episodes and will continue.

This project restores a vision of what the Judicial System can be in this country. I am proud that this organization has been able to pull together so many people who all yearn for truth and honesty in justice. Following this project powerfully reminds me that there are others who truly want goodness for the good of all.

This podcast has a clear bias and agenda, and sadly, people are falling for it. On a recent episode, EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF EVIDENCE against the convicted killer was conveniently omitted. Numerous falsehoods were presented as facts. This podcast is a clear sham, and people who don’t know any better are just eating it up. Pathetic.

What a great way to bring light to such a horrific problem in this country. Thank you!

Stay focus bro your time will come soon

Lauren Bright Pacheco?! Yay!! Keep up the great work. Appreciate you so much shedding light on these cases.

On each show the guest list books they read and that were important to them. Is there a book list available. Also I never see the notes at the end of the podcast to sign patitions or send money. Thx

Every time I listen to these unbelievably sad stories, I cannot help but think, that could have been me or someone I love.

Jason flom is a godsend

I just found this podcast and I’m so glad to hear the voice of the wrongly convicted person. There’s so much junk science that we’ve been told is fact and, even worse, malicious prosecution, withholding of evidence, lies, and innocent people and their families pay with trauma and their lives. Thank goodness there are amazing people fighting for actual justice. Thank you.

I love to support this podcast and all they do for the innocent. While i hate that these things happen, im glad you are sharing them

I’ve had this podcast saved in my library for a long time, and just recently started listening because I always get so upset when I hear about a wrongful conviction, I wasn’t sure I could handle it. But these stories are so empowering and the mental toughness of these men and women is amazing to me. It’s hard to have faith in our justice system after hearing what they have been through. Really appreciate your work and dedication to these folks, they deserve it and I hope to find a way to be a bigger part of this eventually! The Keith Lamar story and Sullivan Walter story have hit me the hardest so far, thank you for what you’re doing for all of these innocent people. Jason is my favorite love his sarcasm and blunt thoughts!

Wrongful Conviction was always my favorite podcast! I’m in Texas, fighting the good fight for prison reform and to abolish the death penalty. INowadays, Wrongful Conviction appears to be seeking the big money. Unless I pay a membership, I will be inundated with commercials. No thanks!

I love this podcast, however I miss the storytelling process from Maggie. Jason kinda just dives in and expresses his outrage over the case instead of painting the story and giving the voice to the victims of this unjust system.

I don’t mind Jason. I’m sure I missed an announcement or something, but Maggie is almost never on anymore and she’s the real draw. Laura Nirider is awful and I delete any episode she’s on. Her delivery is weird. Overly dramatic? Bad cadence? I’m not sure what it is that bothers me. The stories are compelling and interesting. They need to be heard!!

I’m thankful for those who advocate for the wrongly accused. That said, the show is much better when Jason isn’t hosting. His outrage takes over and you don’t get to hear the people speak. He interrupts and says the same four things over and over again. The other hosts are fabulous, and I like how they structure their episodes and conduct their interviews. If they hadn’t started hosting more regularly, I probably would have unfollowed.

Don’t turn away from these. We need to shed more light on all these wrongfully convicted. Thank you Maggie for bringing this to our attention

Thank you. This episode was enlightening.

Such respect for you guys and what you do. Been going back through the catalog and I just listened to #087. Made my week to hear Wrongful Conviction agree to get him a vehicle when he learns to drive. Be the good.

The audio documentarian?? NO. Cmon lava, you are better than this 2-bit Drama porn star.

Maggie is great . Miss her !

When am I going to start hearing about all the wrongfully convicted kids in the foster care system

Though each episode is heartbreaking, this is one of the most important podcasts you could listen to. Then … start up your monthly donations to the Innocence Project or other places like it. This madness needs to be corrected. Hold your elected/local officials accountable!

Corruption, fake “science” and blatant lies that lead to real people spending entirely too much time behind bars for “crimes” they didn’t do and sometimes “crimes” that NEVER HAPPENED… It’s incredibly sickening at times.

What kind of people let’s this happen? These people who knowingly put this and people in jail is sickening to me. Corrupt judges, prosecutors, coercing, innocent people into confessing. How do these people love with themselves? It pisses me off so much

Love this podcast, but Laura needs to bring down the drama in her storytelling a few notches. She’s so over the top.

This is the best podcast, bar none, out there. It is full of real life stories that have tragic outcomes and yet there is also such redemption and positivity as well. There are so many angles involved in these cases. I have so much respect for the Innosense Projects around the country. I have now donated to these organizations and would love to help in any way I can. Please listen to just one and you will be hooked as well.

Eric Smith was wrongful convicted as at the age of 16. He is now 44. He was sentenced with 3 life sentences plus 20 with no chance of Parole. Just recently last year and after years of fighting with lawyers and money, the judge reduced the sentence to just one life term and put Eric Smith on parole. The family is out of money and options. We are trying to get Eric home. Please help us. We have contacted the innocence project, Baltimore Sun has written about him and because money isn’t talking, we do not have the power to get him home. PLEASE HELP !! PLEASE !!

I learn so much listening to these stories.

Some of these people are clearly NOT INNOCENT the wrongful conviction crusade seems to believe almost anyone. This podcast is over dramatic every episode. Somewhat nauseating. I rarely listen anymore

I started listening to your podcast about 2 weeks ago , so I am playing catch up and listening from beginning. This is such an eye opening podcast. My heart just breaks for these people who have been accused of things they didn’t do. I really don’t know how they come out of this and be so positive. I am afraid I couldn’t have that attitude. I think every state should have more compensation.to help them start their lives over.

I just started listening to this podcast about a week ago and I absolutely love it, it’s sad that our criminal justice system is so corrupt and broken and that so many people have spent so much time away from their families and friends.I share this podcast with everyone I now and tell them to listen to these stories because it is heartbreaking.I find my self getting mad at the people that we trust to help us doing the complete opposite.. thank you for sharing there stories. Truly inspiring and an eye opener

Hey, one of your ads includes the beeping sound of a microwave and my dog is traumatized by our smoke alarm going off and every time she hears that beeping on the commercial she freaks out so I had to unsubscribe because I never know when it's going to come. Sorry!

Just heard you getting interviewed.You are a joke and have dangerous ideas about spreading drugs around this nation. You have major mental problems and should probably get help for your delusions. Also offensive hearing you talk about experiments on rats. Trash human being.
