Let The Women: Amanda Villegas on Getting Free

Amanda was a single mother –struggling financially and working tirelessly– when she came home one day in 2011 with her daughter and turned on the news. A movement had been building in her town of El Paso, Texas around the wrongful conviction of Daniel Villegas. So, she wrote him a letter, turned her life upside down and made history. Here’s how one woman fought for someone else and found herself in the process.
This episode is part of a ten-part series called Let The Women Do The Work. Join host Gillian Pensavalle as she follows the stories of ten dynamic, inspiring, badass women in true crime.
