Description

Davilyn Dobbs, a mother of three sons, reveals how her life took a dark turn after working at the Sheriff's Department and hearing whispers of police corruption. Initially dismissing the rumors, everything changed when Detective Roger Golubski made an unthinkable proposition: sleep with him to protect her children.

What followed was a chilling pattern of retaliation after Davilyn rejected his advances. In 2008, her son, Donnell Dobbs, was convicted of murder— a crime he insists he didn't commit. Davilyn believes her refusal to comply with Golubski led to Donnell being framed for a crime he had no part in. Nearly two decades later, she's still fighting for justice, sharing her painful story, and demanding accountability from those in power in Kansas City, Kansas.

This episode also includes powerful insights from Dr. Nikia Smith Robert, Assistant Professor of Religious Ethics and Social Justice at the University of Kansas, and Tricia Rojo Bushnell, Executive Director of the Midwest Innocence Project, as they delve into the systemic issues of police misconduct, wrongful convictions, and the fight for justice.
