Imagine that you have been convicted of a heinous crime that you did not commit and that you are in prison with a life sentence; your own freedom have been taken away. Then imagine that your conviction is overturned and you are set free. Listen as journalist Rob Warden, director of the Center on Wrongful Convictions at Northwestern University, speaks of cases where he has helped to set people free. Warden reveals the drama, intrigue, and oftentimes corruption that lie behind a wrongful conviction, and the role that public interest journalism can play setting someone free.
