Hey, my name is John. I served 24 years for a crime I didn't commit.

It's a lot of issues I don't think a whole lot of people know about as far as us.

I'm talking to my husband, Donna Reed.

They don't know what, being in that traumatic situation being in that situation have done up

actual illness actual innocence is a podcast that tells the stories of people who serve time for crimes they did not commit.

Listen to the heartbreaking true accounts of wrongfully convicted people and their journey to exoneration.

Thanks so much for listening.

Be sure to listen all the way through the end of this episode to get more information on some upcoming plans.

One of my sponsors has really helped me lately understand how good science turns into the junk science that gets people wrongly convicted.

And that is the Great Courses Plus.

I firmly believe that we continue to learn through our entire lives,

not just through school, but through a variety of mediums.

That's why I love the Great Courses Plus and their engaging video lectures

presented by award-winning professors.

With the Great Courses Plus, we have unlimited access to so many lectures that offer a wealth of knowledge so we can learn about all of our

interests on our own time schedule, because they can be streamed at any time on any device.

You can choose from so many topics like history, civil rights, or even cooking,

and photography. I want you to sign up for the free trial so you can start watching the

great courses right away, like the one I just watched called Forensic History, Crimes,

Frauds, and Scandals. It's exactly the insight you need to better understand how people get wrongly convicted on faulty science.

It has all these insights into what happens when forensics go wrong,

like when thousands of innocent people were sent to prison based on one scientist lies.
