Fighting for Freedom Following a Wrongful Conviction with Carl Williams
Manage episode 291408387 series 2863887
This episode features Carl Williams, a man who, at the age of 17, was arrested for a murder he did not commit. After waiting in jail for 3 years pre-trial, Carl was ultimately sentenced to life without parole. For 23 years, Carl maintained his innocence in prison and fought for his life. Finally, in August of 2020 , Carl was released...into a global pandemic. This conversation touches on what it means to be free as a Black man in America, the importance of holding criminal justice agents accountable for "taking innocent lives," and the long-lasting impact of the prison experience.
