What do we owe people who've been wrongfully convicted? On the next Your Call, we'll have a conversation about people who have been exonerated because of DNA evidence. So far, 251 men have been freed after spending years in prison, according to the Innocence Project. What support should be given to victims of a broken criminal justice system? Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. Beyond compensation, where do justice and accountability fit in? What would you like to say or do for the wrongfully convicted? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar, and you.
Guests:
