Wrongfully Yours
A place where I host conversations with people who have been impacted by wrongful convictions - sometimes this is an exoneree, a family member of an exoneree, a justice official, a filmmaker, a student...I'm really open to speaking with anyone because I think we all have such interesting and unique perspectives to bring around this issue in an effort to challenge assumptions, surface uncomfortable truths, and foster critical thinking about how justice is pursued and portrayed.

In this episode of Wrongfully Yours, Kelly sist down with civil rights attorney Deborah Francois, who has spent her career fighting wrongful convictions and seeking justice for those society has failed.
Deborah shares how she first got involved in this work, the heartbreaking realities of exonerations, and the impossible decisions her firm faces when choosing which cases to take on. Together, they unpack what an exoneration really represents: not a “happy ending,” but years, even decades, stolen from someone’s life.
They talk about Clifford Jones, wrongfully convicted in 1981 and imprisoned for 30 years, and how even when the truth comes to light, justice can never fully be restored.
