THE WRONGFUL CONVICTION OF THOMAS JAMES (PATREON UNLOCKED)

This week, we are unlocking a bonus episode from our Patreon page. Originally available since last year for patrons only, it's now available free for everyone. We will be back with our season finale episode next week!

What’s in a name? For Thomas James, his name was his downfall. A combination of bad luck, bad police work, and a bad reputation landed Thomas in jail for over 30 years for the murder of Francis McKinnon. What seemed like an open and shut case proved to be a tragic miscarriage of justice, punishing an innocent man and letting a guilty one run free.
