40: Wrongly Convicted: Justin Brooks & California Innocence Project

Justin Brooks is the co-founder of the California Innocence Project, which is a non-profit that is part of the California Western School of Law in San Diego. Catch me (plus maybe Justin) on Discord on Thursday 11th Feb at 8pm GMT (Noon in California). Here's the link: https://discord.gg/RWH7fs6ygb Justin Links: http://twitter.com/justinobrooks http://instagram.com/justinobrooks https://www.facebook.com/pages/category/Public-Figure/Justin-Brooks-160642841283018/ http://californiainnocenceproject.org Andrew Links: http://twitter.com/andrewgold_ok http://instagram.com/andrewgold_ok http://andrewgoldpodcast.com http://facebook.com/ontheedgewithandrewgold http://youtube.com/andrewgold1 http://patreon.com/andrewgold - for bonus content! They do the most remarkable work, which is to provide pro-bono legal services to exonerate wrongly convicted inmates. I can’t think of much worse than being put in prison for decades, no hope of parole, when you didn’t even commit the crime for which you’re there. It’s a horrible thought that in all probability, there are thousands of people in this situation. So, Justin is one of those people I’m so happy exist. Justin was recently played by actor Greg Kinnear in the movie Brian Banks about its namesake former American footballer who was wrongfully convicted of rape. We talk about the movie and what it was like being shadowed by a famous movie star, as well as some of the heartbreaking cases and the problems with our legal system. We talk as well about the racial inequality in the US, which is an important topic, especially given that this coming Saturday the 20th February is World Day of Social Justice. I’ve added a little over ten minutes of bonus content for my Patrons. In it, we talk about silly things like accents, and Justin’s family in Derby and Liverpool, as well as some serious stuff relating to race, impartial news channels and some differences between the UK and the US. Find that on Patreon.com/andrewgold. There’s even a teaser for the bonus material in the outro. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information. Learn more about your ad choices.
