Description

Marvin Grimm spent nearly 50 years behind bars for a crime he didn’t commit. The city of Richmond recently paid him millions for this error. But what about the reason he was incarcerated in the first place?


Rich sits down with Tessa Kramer, host of the VPM podcast, Admissible: Shreds of Evidence, to talk about faulty evidence from Virginia’s crime lab. Is that what's driving wrongful convictions in the Commonwealth?


This episode contains some brief but graphic descriptions of violence that some listeners may find disturbing.


You can find all episodes of Admissible at admissible.vpm.org.
