My name is Obie Anthony, and I spent 17 years in the state of California for a crime in which I did not commit.

You're listening to Actual Innocence, a podcast spreading awareness of wrongful convictions and issues with the justice system.

I'm Brooke, and I'm here with my co-host, DeMarco.

I'm doing fabulous,

learning my laptop. I'm having fun learning my laptop. And other than I have my clothing line

about to drop real soon, so everything is good.

And DeMarco's clothing line will be on our website.
