In this episode, we take a look into the story of Melvin Quinney โ€” a father once convicted of indecency with a child โ€” his claim of innocence, and his eventual exoneration.

Through his own words, we revisit a โ€œSatanic Panicโ€โ€“era case and explore what it means to be presumed innocent, yet still wrongfully convicted.

This is Melvin Quinneyโ€™s voice of innocence.

Hosted by criminologists Dr. Rashaan DeShay and Dr. Katherine Polzer.

Edited and produced by Krystal Guerra.
