Yeah, I think it's interesting, too, because it's like, there are so many cases that when you hear them, they sort of like defy logic. It's like, how could that even have even been possible? And I feel like I have such little faith in you know, the criminal legal process just from, you know, just covering enough stories that it's like somewhere something like this has happened, I'm sure.

And, you know, somebody has, you know, been pursued in this same dynamic of maybe a white woman accusing a Black person that didn't exist. And then, you know, you have other kind of similar cases. I know that, you know, one case I'd covered this season on True crime was the case of Alice Siebold, the author of The Lovely Bones, and Anthony Broadwater, who was the man who was convicted of her rape.

I know that, you know, one case I'd covered this season on True crime was the case of Alice Siebold, the author of The Lovely Bones, and Anthony Broadwater, who was the man who was convicted of her rape.
She was raped when she was in college and she had identified him on the street just a few months after her attack. And then Anthony was, you know, put to trial and ultimately convicted. He served 16 and a half years in prison. And we just found out in just the last few years that he was actually wrongfully convicted.

And in that case, it's a little bit different because Alice Siebold was actually attacked. She just misidentified her perpetrator. But I think there were so many holes in that case as well insofar as like, for example, Alice was presented a lineup that included Anthony Broadwater and a bunch of other people, and she didn't pick the right person, or she didn't pick Anthony, I should say.

She picked a different person out of the lineup. So red flag number one, right, that maybe she's misidentified Anthony. And there's a number of sort of other things like that, but it goes to trial. She sits up on the witness stand. She points him out when she's asked to point to the perpetrator, and

She's given a lot of sympathy and sort of like can just sort of paper over the things that they don't want to believe, you know, are red flags in order to kind of like get to justice. And I think a lot of times, too, it's not always an instance of like just in general, whenever there's misconduct with policing or anything like that, I don't think it's always or even often that it's.

there's like a willful intent to railroad somebody. Oftentimes it's like just feeding into whatever biases you already have. It is, you know, not taking the time to actually do things properly. And so when you have this feeling of like, okay, well, my job is to get justice. Here we go. We have somebody who looks like they could be the perpetrator. Sure. Let's, you know,
