<p>Hosted by celebrated criminal justice reform advocate and founding board member of the Innocence Project Jason Flom, Pulitzer prize-winning podcast host and producer Maggie Freleng, and Emmy Award-winning writer, producer, and podcast host Lauren Bright Pacheco, Wrongful Conviction features intimate conversations with men and women who have spent years in prison for crimes they maintain they did not commit.

Each episode peels back the layers behind the stories of those who have found themselves caught in a legal system gone wrong, with illuminating insights from lawyers and leading experts sharing their in-depth knowledge about each case, from prison visits and courtroom battles to reexamined crime scenes and witness interviews. This gripping series reveals the tragedy of injustice…as well as the triumph that is possible when people step up and demand change.</p>

<p>On March 25, 1988, Harold Wesley shot and killed Jimmy Calibera in a drug deal gone wrong. The crime occurred in front of the Breukelen Houses estates in Brooklyn, NY where John “Divine G” Whitfield lived with his mother and sister. Divine G was scheduled to turn himself in on drug charges in May of that year, but due to the testimony of an unreliable and incentivized informant, and despite evidence disproving this account, Divine was convicted of the murder and sentenced to 25 to life. </p> <p>To learn more and get involved, visit:</p> <p><a href="https://chng.it/cX5Fb9vnZk">https://chng.it/cX5Fb9vnZk</a></p> <p><a href="https://innocenceproject.org/petitions/new-york-discovery/">https://innocenceproject.org/petitions/new-york-discovery/</a></p> <p><a href="https://a24films.com/films/sing-sing">https://a24films.com/films/sing-sing</a></p> <p><a href="https://pen.org/the-whitfeld-files/">https://pen.org/the-whitfeld-files/</a></p> <p><a href="https://divinegentertainment.com/shop/">https://divinegentertainment.com/shop/</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/divine_g47/?hl=en">https://www.instagram.com/divine_g4</a>7</p> <p><a href="https://rta-arts.org/blog/sing-sings-john-divine-g-whitfield-clarence-divine-eye-maclin-where-are-they-now/">https://rta-arts.org/blog/sing-sings-john-divine-g-whitfield-clarence-divine-eye-maclin-where-are-they-now/</a> </p> <p>Wrongful Conviction is a production of Lava For Good™ Podcasts in association with Signal Co.

<p>On July 10, 1994, in Houston, TX, four to six armed men forcibly entered a house that was being used as a base for selling crack cocaine. The intruders kicked down the door and immediately opened fire. Willie Williams and Clifford Tyler were shot while trying to flee but survived. Alton “Bud” Brown managed to escape unharmed but Charles Monroe was shot and succumbed to his injuries and died. Neither Williams nor Tyler were able to identity the shooter and since there was no physical evidence the case was closed. </p> <p>12 years later, the case was re-opened with Ivery Dorsery as the primary suspect. Even though Ivery had several alibi witnesses who attested to his whereabouts the night of the crime and even though there was still no physical evidence tying anyone to the shooting, Ivery was charged and convicted with felony murder and sentenced to 20 years in prison.</p> <p>To learn more and get involved, visit:</p> <p><a href="https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-iverys-fight-for-justice">https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-iverys-fight-for-justice</a><a href="https://www.instagram.com/bringiveryhome/">https://www.instagram.com/bringiveryhome/</a><a href="https://lavaforgood.com/podcast/186-jason-flom-with-alfred-dewayne-brown/">https://lavaforgood.com/podcast/186-jason-flom-with-alfred-dewayne-brown/</a></p> <p>Wrongful Conviction is a production of Lava For Good™ Podcasts in association with Signal Co.

<p>On March 24, 2001, the burned body of Howard Rose was found in a pick up truck in Pennsylvania. Rose had been shot in the back of the head in Cleveland, OH the night before. Investigators centered on four suspects, including Arketa Willis and Marcus Blalock. As a result of a deal with the prosecution, Willis testified against Blalock, blaming him for the murder. No physical evidence defended this claim. Her testimony was the sole basis for his conviction of murder and sentence of twenty years to life. </p> <p>To learn more and get involved, visit:</p> <p><a href="https://www.buycadmusbooks.com/pages/marcus-blalock?_pos=1&_psq=blal&_ss=e&_v=1.0">https://www.buycadmusbooks.com/pages/marcus-blalock</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.kimlawcrimlaw.com/">https://www.kimlawcrimlaw.com/</a></p> <p><a href="https://lavaforgood.com/podcast/191-jason-flom-with-ru-el-sailor/">https://lavaforgood.com/podcast/191-jason-flom-with-ru-el-sailor/</a></p> <p><a href="https://lavaforgood.com/podcast/326-jason-flom-with-octavius-williams/">https://lavaforgood.com/podcast/326-jason-flom-with-octavius-williams/</a></p> <p>Wrongful Conviction is a production of Lava For Good™ Podcasts in association with Signal Co.
