Ep 287 - Ohio's history of exonerations

Description

Since 1989, at least 110 people in Ohio have been freed from a wrongful conviction - including 39 serving time for murder, and 8 who were almost executed. We look closer at three cases: the exonerations of Ricky Jackson and Ronnie and Wiley Bridgeman after 39 years (Cleveland); the release of Tim Howard and Gary James after 26 years (Columbus); and Clarence Elkins' fight for freedom (Barberton).
