Wrongful Conviction: Junk Science - Trailer

True scientific expertise, built through rigorous study and review, is absolutely vital in a court of law. But what happens when one claims to be an expert - in a discipline that isn’t based in science at all?

Meet renowned attorney and Innocence Project Ambassador Josh Dubin. He is the host of the brand new series from Lava For Good Podcast, Wrongful Conviction: Junk Science. Josh explores junk sciences, such as bite mark analysis, arson science, and many others, along with the curious origin stories that led to their viral spread via legal precedent. He is joined by the journalists and lawyers who chronicle, combat, and defend against the harrowing impact of these junk sciences.

Hosted by celebrated criminal justice reform advocate and founding board member of the Innocence Project Jason Flom, Wrongful Conviction features intimate conversations with men and women who have spent years in prison for crimes they maintain they did not commit. Some have been fully exonerated and reunited with family and friends while others continue to languish, with some even facing execution on death row.

Each episode peels back the layers behind the stories of those who have found themselves caught in a legal system gone wrong, with illuminating insights  from lawyers and leading experts sharing their in-depth knowledge about each case, from prison visits and courtroom battles to reexamined crime scenes and witness interviews . This gripping series reveals the tragedy of injustice…as well as the triumph that is possible when people step up and demand change.
