Thank you for joining me for this episode of Actual Innocence, a podcast to help bring awareness

I'm going to let you know that there will be another

season finale that will be the last three episodes of this year.

It's not something you're going to want to miss.

I can't wait to tell it.

Each year, over 10,000 people in America are wrongly convicted. They could be victims of
