Ep 224: Trying To Prove Innocence

Sedley Alley was convicted in 1985 of a brutal rape and murder that occurred just outside Memphis, Tennessee. For decades, Sedley maintained his innocence, but proving it would be a steep hill to climb. A special thank you to Daniel Medwed for talking to us about this case. Daniel’s new book, Barred: Why The Innocent Can’t Get Out of Prison is available here - https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/barred-daniel-s-medwed/1140835428. Highly recommend!
