So my name is Daniel Villegas and I love Hardy Davidsons. My wife just bought me one and I've been

driving it for about a year and it's amazing. Hi, this is Brooke and you're listening to actual

innocence, a podcast dedicated to spreading awareness of wrongful conviction. Today we're going to hear the story of Daniel Villegas, who went to prison as a child

and was released well into adulthood.

Just a warning, there is some adult language and content about sexual abuse and violence

in prison.

I also want to tell you another story about a man who is still

incarcerated for murder. Not here though. I've created a new podcast. It's called

Convicted. It's a 10-episode series and the twists and turns and injustice in the case are unbelievable.

I'll play the trailer for you near the end before the credits.

This episode is being brought to you by Blue Apron, the podcast Serial Killers, and Spring.

While sitting here with my spring boots on, smelling my blue apron cooking downstairs

and queuing up my podcast list for my walk later, I can't help but be thankful for all of the

sponsors that support mine and other podcasts.

I love the blue apron support so many podcasts because their mission is to make

incredible home cooking accessible to everyone.

They've established partnerships with over 150 local farms, ranchers, and fisheries across

the United States.

And that sustainable food can be delivered to 99% of the continental US and 99.5% of food

deserts. Plus, waste is reduced because Blue Apron shipped the exact amount of each ingredient.

In my most recent Blue Apron experience, I had my box shipped me out of town in a condo I was staying at,

so I could share the deliciousness with my travel companions.
