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.

From courtroom stories to the human impact of wrongful convictions, Humza shows us what it really takes to stand up for justice and the lives behind every case.
Humza shares how his early work with Innocence Canada and on death row in North Carolina shaped his approach to criminal defence, why plea deals can quietly punish the innocent, and how empathy so often gets lost in an overburdened justice system.
They talk about wrongful convictions, plea bargains, and what happens when people are punished for maintaining their innocence making this a conversation about law, humanity, and what justice is supposed to look like when real lives are on the line.
