Welcome to Wrongful Conviction False Confessions.

I'm Lauren Eyreider.

And I'm Steve Trison.

Today we bring you the story of Billy Wayne Cope,

a father and husband, a man of faith,

and one of many innocents wrongfully convicted of murder.

Even after DNA evidence pointed to the real killer,

the police refused to pursue other leads.

Instead, Billy was railroaded into falsely confessing

to an unimaginable crime.

This case will stay with you.

It's certainly left to mark on Steve.

Our 20s often seen as this golden decade,

our time to be carefree, make mistakes,

and figure out our lives.

But what can psychology teach us about this time?

I'm Jemma Speg, the host of the psychology of your 20s.

Each week, we take a deep dive into a unique aspect of our 20s,

from career anxiety, mental health, heartbreak, money,

and much more to explore the science behind our experiences.

The psychology of your 20s hosted by me, Jemma Speg.
