Wrongful conviction doesn't just steal years from the innocent--it destroys families. Parents lose their children, kids grow up without parents, and loved ones grieve someone who's alive but locked away. Meanwhile, taxpayers foot the bill--spending billions to cage the wrong people while real justice is never served. It's pain that ripples through generations, and it never truly ends.Join in as a mother talks about losing her child to a life sentence in a broken system for a crime he never committed. We'll also learn things about the criminal justice system many of us never knew existed.
