FREEING THE INNOCENT | False Convictions, Corruption, Race and Death Penalty - Justin Brooks
For this episode I spoke to Justin Brooks, criminal defense lawyer, law professor, and the Founding Director of the California Innocence Project and recent author of “You Might Go to Prison, Even Though You're Innocent”.
( https://www.amazon.com/Might-Prison-Though-Youre-Innocent/dp/0520386833)
The book and our interview focuses on Justin’s work which is the exoneration of falsely-convicted prisoners for crimes up to and including murder.
We spoke about the various ways in which false-convictions can come about due to dishonesty, incompetence and/or errors from police, prosecutors and judges. Justin shares stories from his most prolific and shocking cases including false- r!pe allegations and decades wrongly spent in jail.
Justin told me about problems with cross-racial identification, how difficult it is to over-turn a conviction, the damaging effect that prison has on the falsely convicted and the role that race plays in American trials.
