Breaking news in one of the most heartbreaking wrongful conviction stories we've covered! In this must-listen episode, we dive into the stunning release of Jimmie "Chris" Duncan from Louisiana's infamous Angola prison on November 26, 2025 – just in time for Thanksgiving and his 57th birthday. After 27 years facing execution for the alleged rape and murder of his girlfriend's 2-year-old daughter Haley Oliveaux, a judge ruled him factually innocent based on debunked "junk science" bite mark evidence from discredited experts Dr. Michael West and Dr. Steven Hayne. We unpack the shocking forensic fraud (including video of West fabricating marks!), the accidental drowning theory, support from the victim's own family, and why prosecutors are still fighting to reinstate his death sentence on appeal. From GED tutor on death row to walking free into his parents' arms – this is a rollercoaster of justice, redemption, and the fight against flawed forensics. Is full exoneration next? You don't want to miss this triumphant update!  #WrongfulConviction #JimmieChrisDuncan #AngolaRelease #InnocenceProject #TrueCrime
