Chapter 8 | Bondage to the Law

About this episode

The episode explores the efforts of District Attorney Danny Carr and prosecutor Jeff Wallace to challenge Toforest Johnson's conviction while highlighting the human impact of the legal system.

In an unusual turn, District Attorney Danny Carr and original prosecutor Jeff Wallace push against Toforest Johnson’s conviction, even as he remains on death row. Beth Shelburne traces a system reluctant to admit its failures, while Toforest’s children reveal the human toll of a life caught between injustice and hope.
