About this episode

The episode discusses a report on wrongful convictions in Ohio's capital punishment system and features an interview with Kevin Werner from Ohioans to Stop Executions.

Ohioans to Stop Executions released a report titled Beyond Reasonable Doubt: Confronting the Wrongful Conviction Crisis in the State of Ohio. The findings present an indictment of the state’s capital punishment system, documenting that for every five individuals Ohio has executed, one person has been exonerated from death row. I talk with organization's executive director Kevin Werner.
