Hello, my name is Christine Bunch and I spent 17 years in prison for a crime I didn't commit.

Hi, this is Brooke, and I'm here with DeMarco and you're listening to Actual Innocence.

We're a podcast bringing awareness to wrongful conviction

and issues in the justice system.

So how are you doing this week, DeMarco?

I'm doing wonderful.

I had a chance to hang out with my mom today.

And, you know, spending time with my mom is always a pleasure

because, you know, we have so much time to make up for.

So I enjoy spending time with her and she keeps me laughing.

How's your new dog doing?

Oh, yeah. Let me tell you about Abby.

My mom wanted the babysitter.

She has a little dog, so I let her keep Abby over there with her dog,

and now she don't want to give Abby back. Oh, no. Yeah, so Abby has two homes. I need to give credit to DeMarco because he arranged today's interview with Christine. And I'm actually a little bit

ashamed to admit that I didn't know about Christine's case

and I even live in the same state.

So, DeMarco, thank you so much for reaching out to her and asking her to be on the show.

Oh, no problem.

So before we continue on to the trivia section, we're going to hear from our first sponsor.

Just a reminder that supporting our sponsors helps to support our show.

If you can't financially support them, it's still really helpful to give them a shout
