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.

When Leslie Vass met the attorney assigned to defend him, something immediately felt wrong. The lawyer didn’t ask questions about the case. He didn’t want details. He wanted payment and told Leslie not to worry, because he was the one with the law degree.
In this episode, Leslie reflects on being 17 years old, facing trial just months after his arrest, and realizing too late that his defense wasn’t really a defense at all. It’s a stark look at how legal representation can fail long before a verdict is ever reached.
