Sam Thurman, Cliff Stewart, and Ethel Lopez of the Colorado exoneration firm A Just Cause, discuss what happens when the wheels of justice trample unbridled over the rights of innocent Americans. Although the American system of justice is the most-respected worldwide, it is still a system designed, and operated, by humans, which means it's not perfect. Sam, Cliff and Ethel will highlight ongoing struggles against "the system" to free wrongfully imprisoned people, and what happens when justice miscarries against an actually innocent person. Our special guests for tonight's show are Billy Ray Wheelock, who recently received a pardon from President Barack Obama after serving 21 years in prison for distributing crack cocaine and Anita Wills, Mother/Activist fighting for the freedom of her son, Kerry Baxter Sr., wrongly convicted and serving 66 years in prison for a crime, he didn't commit. A Just Cause is currently campaigning for "FreeTheIRP6," who's been wrongly imprisoned in Florence, CO for a crime they didn't commitrong. For full story: www.freetheirp6.org.
