I went through two trials, and in both trials, the truth came out. However, the jury chose not to believe the truth. They ignored it, and they believed the lie.

Welcome to the Good Faith podcast.

I'm your host, Curtis Chang.

And the Good Faith podcast is we're friends who follow Jesus help each other make sense of the world.

Now, imagine this scenario and how it would completely disrupt your sense of the world. Imagine you're at home one night watching Netflix with your wife, and suddenly there's a knock

on the door, and it's the police, and they arrest you, put you in handcuffs, take you to jail,

and suddenly you are accused

with a heinous crime, a murder that you had nothing to do with, that you have no idea

what's going on.

But in this crazy scenario, prosecutors begin to show evidence, eyewitness accounts that show,

yeah, you were the one that committed this murder.

And then after a long arduous process, you are sentenced to jail, to a life sentence,

ripped apart from your family, friends with no freedom and really no hope of ever getting out.

Now, for most of us, that scenario seems absolutely incomprehensible and horrible. This seems

like a rerun of The Fugitive starring Harrison Ford that you're watching on Netflix, not a character

in. And yet, the truth is, this scenario actually happens in the world, happens in America, more often

than you may realize.

That's the startling discovery of our guests for today's episode.

Barbara Bradley Haggerty, who is an award-winning journalist and New York Times best-selling

author of numerous books.

And her latest book is called Bring Ben Home, A Murder, A Conviction,

and the Fight to Redeem American Justice. Barb, welcome to the Good Faith podcast.
