Plugged In: Inside Georgia's new system for compensating the wrongfully convicted

Update: 2025-09-05

Description

Earlier this year, state lawmakers created a new process for compensating Georgians who have been wrongfully convicted and jailed.

On this week’s episode of “Plugged In,” hosts Sam Gringlas and Rahul Bali take listeners inside some of the first hearings, where judges and lawyers are trying to navigate a new process somewhat on the fly.

Plus, Governor Brian Kemp has officially endorsed his pick to take on U.S. Senator Jon Ossoff next year and lawmakers mark one year since the deadly shooting at Apalachee High School.
