COJ #65 - The Presumption of Guilt - Defense Attorney Noah Pines Talks About Client Joey Watkins and Overturning Murder Convictions

This week’s #CupofJustice is a little different as we invite new contributors to expose the truth, give voice to victims and get the story straight. On today’s show, Mandy Matney and everyone’s favorite attorney Eric Bland explore ethics in defending clients with superhero and criminal defense attorney Noah Pines.  Noah Pines is a Criminal Defense Attorney from Philly, and currently practicing in Atlanta, Georgia. Noah was one of the first supporters of the Murdaugh Murders Podcast. We were honored to discuss⚖️ how he found himself in the legal profession, ☀️ how he became a fan of our podcast and mission, and how hard it is to overturn a murder conviction 🆓.  In a segment reserved just for Premium Members, Noah starts asking the questions to EB and Mandy about the team and what’s next for COJ.  Next month, Mandy and Liz hope to welcome Noah’s client… Joey Watkins who was finally released from prison after 22 years as his conviction for a crime he didn’t commit was overturned. No small feat to say the least.  We’ll be doing more episodes like this where one or two COJ hosts interview special guests and we’d love to hear your feedback as COJ amplifies more voices, illuminates more cases and educates you on more concepts. Stay tuned for more interviews with best selling author and TV host Tamron Hall, Redhanded's Hannah Maguire and Suruthi Bala, and others.  I am so excited to share this interview with you, so let’s get into it....
