| 0:00.0 | Brooke, do you think we should tell the listeners what tomorrow is right at the beginning of the episode? |
| 0:04.9 | Yeah, absolutely. That's a great idea. It's a very important day. Why don't you tell them? |
| 0:10.0 | Tomorrow, October 2nd, is Wrongful Conviction Day. |
| 0:14.4 | I know when I first heard about Wrongful Conviction Day, it sounded kind of like a holiday, which made me wonder why people would celebrate wrongful |
| 0:21.9 | convictions. But it's not really like that at all. It's more like a day of advocacy. Wrongful |
| 0:26.9 | conviction day is an international day to raise awareness of the cause and remedies of wrongful convictions, |
| 0:32.7 | and to recognize the tremendous personal, social, and emotional cost of wrongful conviction for innocent people |
| 0:38.2 | and their families. |
| 0:39.6 | The California Innocence Project is doing a Twitter takeover to bring even more awareness |
| 0:43.6 | to the cause. |
| 0:44.7 | If you have a Twitter, at least for tomorrow, you should definitely follow them at |
| 0:48.7 | CA underscore Innocence. |
| 0:51.2 | We also have a thank you shout out to give in relationship to wrongful conviction |

| 1:01.8 | Melly, sent me a message on Twitter asking if there was anything we needed because she wanted |
| 1:05.8 | to help support us in honor of wrongful conviction day. It came up with some ideas, but I wanted |
| 1:10.5 | to run them by her and DeMarco together. So I asked both of them if they were okay with doing a quick Skype together, and they said yes. Yeah, she was really nice, and she's donating a printer to the actual innocence team, which would help out a lot. So thank you so much, Mellie, for your kind gift, and it was really a pleasure talking to you. Yeah, we really appreciate it. |
| 1:30.6 | Okay, now on to this week's episode of Actual Innocence. I'm Jeffrey Duscovic and I'm with the |
| 1:37.6 | Jeffrey Duscovic Foundation for Justice. Hi, this is Brooke. I'm here with DeMarco and you're listening to actual innocence. |
| 1:47.0 | We're a podcast bringing awareness to wrongful conviction and issues in the justice system. |
| 1:52.0 | How have you been this week, DeMarco? |
| 1:55.0 | Well, I had an interesting week. |
