Ep. 23 | “Wrongfully Convicted”
Manage episode 326225252 series 3341132
The US justice system is far from perfect. Thousands of people a year are wrongfully put in prison for crimes they did not commit. Kevin sits with Jason Flom, CEO of Lava Records, to highlight the work that Jason does with the Innocence Project in assisting incorrectly incarcerated individuals. Kevin is also joined by Kiera Newsome, Darnell Phillips, and John Huffington, three wrongfully incarcerated citizens that Jason and the Innocence Project were able to assist in releasing from prison. Kiera served 19 years, Darnell served 27 years, and John did 32 years. Each for a crime that they undeniably did not commit. And, Jason details his other projects like; hosting his podcast, Wrongful Conviction, producing a children’s book alongside his daughter, managing the Church of Rock and Roll, and continuing to sign new artists. Jason hopes to educate and inspire people on how we all can make a difference and help change the broken judicial system that is tearing families apart every day.
