188: Exonerated: The Story of Carmen Mejia

188: Exonerated: The Story of Carmen Mejia

After 22 years behind bars, Carmen Mejia is finally free. In 2003, a tragic accident left a 10-month-old baby dead. What should have been recognized as a devastating mistake quickly turned into a murder conviction—despite no evidence of abuse and testimony supporting Carmen’s innocence. She was sentenced to life. It took decades, the work of the Innocence Project, and the voices of those who never gave up… to uncover the truth. This episode dives into:
  • A tragedy turned wrongful conviction
  • The failures that led to 22 years lost
  • The fight for justice—and finally, freedom
This isn’t just a case.
It’s a reminder of what happens when the system gets it wrong.

⚠️ Trigger Warning: Child death, wrongful conviction, trauma
