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.

Leslie Vass remembers walking into the courtroom and sitting down only to learn, moments later, who had accused him. He had never seen the victim before. During the arrest, his face was pressed to a wall. A voice said he “looked like” the robber. That was all.
In this episode, Leslie reflects on the shock of realizing how little identification it took to put his life on trial, and how powerless a teenager can be inside a system he doesn’t understand.
