Episode 252 tells two stories of when the wheels of justice had a blow-out and people were convicted of crimes they didn't commit.
Ad-Free Safe House Edition
"Uncle Amos Dreams a Dream," by Edmund Pearson, the story of two brothers accused of murder after the discovery of two clipped toenails.
"Twenty-Three Years Skidoo: What Was Justice In This Case," by Peter Levins, about how a deathbed confession made liars out of a whole bunch of witnesses and law enforcement officials.
