A Just Cause Coast 2 Coast - Discusses Wrongful Convictions w/Jim & Nancy Petro

Sam Thurman, Cliff Stewart, and Ethel Lopez of the Colorado exoneration firm A Just Cause, discuss what happens when the wheels of justice trample unbridled over the rights of innocent Americans.  Although the American system of justice is the most-respected worldwide, it is still a system designed, and operated, by humans, which means it's not perfect.  Sam and Cliff will highlight ongoing struggles against "the system" to free wrongfully imprisoned people, and what happens when justice miscarries against an actually innocent person.

Our Special Guests, for tonight's show is Jim & Nancy Petro, Authors of a book, titled "False Justice." This awesome book informs the reader about 8 Myths that Convict the Innocent.

1. “Everyone in prison claims innocence.”
2. “Our system almost never convicts an innocent person.”
3. “Only the guilty confess.”
4. “Wrongful convictions are caused by innocent human error.”
5. “An eyewitness is the best testimony.”
6. “Conviction errors get corrected on appeal.”
7. “It dishonors the victim to question a conviction.”
8. “If the justice system has problems, the pros will fix them
