What the attorney thinks - Joshua Sedgmen

What the attorney thinks - Joshua Sedgmen

In this episode, I’m joined once again by Michael Leonard of Leonard Trial Lawyers in Chicago — known to many of you as The Voice of Reason. Together, we unpack the troubling case of Joshua Sedgmen, a young man wrongfully convicted of armed robbery despite a complete lack of evidence tying him to the crime. Michael shares his expert legal opinion on the failings of the prosecution, the misuse and mishandling of DNA evidence, and the disturbing reality that it can cost someone thousands just to prove their own innocence. We also dive into the glaring issue of prosecutorial accountability — or the lack thereof — and ask why no one is held responsible when lives are shattered by misconduct and negligence.
