Hello, this is a free call from Jim, an incarcerated individual at Stateville Correctional center.
This call is subject to recording and monitoring.
I've spent years talking to people who have been accused of crimes they say they didn't commit.
And one thing I've learned is that all of us are more than the worst thing that's ever happened to us.
So he told me, if the jury comes out and they refuse to look you in the eye, you're pretty much guaranteed that they're gonna find you guilty.
And that's exactly what happened.
And it was not even a second after that that they were dragging her out.
And I'm trying to reach over the banister and grab her hands and my, you know, everybody's crying, everybody's screaming.
And they wouldn't even let her say goodbye to her family.
I'm Maggie Freeling, Pulitzer Prize winning journalist and host of wrongful conviction, with Maggie freeling.
And I'm back with more stories from people who refuse to be defined by tragedy.
Does your girlfriend spoil you?
Yeah, she do.
Honestly, I'ma miss, like, waking up to breakfast and coffee and stuff like that.
I was just thinking, like, damn, what.
Was it like being the little brother to two older sisters?
Do you have any younger siblings?
I do.
You should ask them.
See what they see.
