Also joining us is Willie T. Donald's attorney, Thomas Vanes; and Dr. Nicky Jackson, coordinator of the Criminal Justice Program at Purdue University Northwest in Indiana, who is the creator and chair of the Willie T. Donald Exoneration Advisory Coalition. Criminal defense attorney Alison Triessl co-hosts with Ana Garcia.
