Episode 34 - Deborah Francois (continued)

Wrongful conviction work is never simple, and it’s never without heartbreak.In this follow-up conversation with civil rights attorney Deborah Francois, we go deeper into the impossible choices her small firm faces when deciding which cases to take on, the emotional toll of telling someone you believe they're innocent but can’t help because of legal or evidentiary barriers, and the staggering reality of what exoneration actually means.Deborah also tackles the persistent myths: from those who still don’t believe wrongful convictions happen, to those who claim exonerations prove “the system works.” Together we unpack why both views miss the point, because justice is already lost the day an innocent person is wrongfully convicted.Subscribe now wherever you get your podcasts and listen in on this important conversation about what’s missing, self-evident things like support systems, accountability, and recognition that exonerees should not be left to rebuild their lives on their own.https://pod.link/1826106591#WrongfullyYours #WrongfulConvictions #Justice #Exoneration
