Wrongfully Yours
A place where I host conversations with people who have been impacted by wrongful convictions - sometimes this is an exoneree, a family member of an exoneree, a justice official, a filmmaker, a student...I'm really open to speaking with anyone because I think we all have such interesting and unique perspectives to bring around this issue in an effort to challenge assumptions, surface uncomfortable truths, and foster critical thinking about how justice is pursued and portrayed.
Wrongfully Yours
Episode 7 - Eric Anderson (continued - part 2)
In this powerful follow-up, Eric Anderson continues his harrowing journey from being a gunshot victim to a wrongfully convicted man sentenced to 15–22 years in prison. Despite being offered a plea deal of probation and expungement, Eric refused to admit guilt for a crime he did not commit. He shares disturbing insights into the failures of the criminal justice system, including missing evidence, ineffective legal counsel, overcharging, and judicial bias.
Eric’s strength shines as he represents himself, studies law in prison, and ultimately finds redemption through the Michigan Innocence Clinic and the Wayne County Conviction Integrity Unit. His conviction is overturned, and he is released—only four hours after finding out. He reflects on lost time, resilience, and the broken systems that almost stole his future.
This is a conversation about standing firm in the truth, surviving a system designed to break you, and reclaiming your life with purpose and power.
