Iowa Wrongful Convictions - (Erica Nichols Cook) - Part 1
In America, sometimes innocent people are investigated, charged, tried, convicted, and sentenced to prison for crimes they haven't committed and ended up spending half of their lives behind bars before they could be exonerated.
In this episode, I sat down with Erica Nichols Cook, director of the wrongful conviction Division at Iowa State Public Defender. Erica is on a mission, she is called to be a fighter, and her fight is to free as many wrongfully convicted people in the state of Iowa as she can.
Thank you for listening.
