Don’t worry, we’ll wait… And now that we’re all on the same page, let’s jump back in where we left off, discussing the erroneous […]

Nobody confesses to crimes they didn’t do, right? After all, who would ever admit guilt to something they never did? It seems preposterous to most people. And yet it’s actually a major issue that puts thousands of innocent people behind bars every year. Don’t believe us? Be prepared to have your mind blown as we […]

Welcome back and thanks for joining us for this continuing discussion on jury tampering in Michigan.
