After spending 17 years wrongfully imprisoned, Kristine Bunch knows what it means to fight for freedom. She also knows the power of finding a community that understands that fight.

Now director of the @indianainnocenceproject, Kristine shared her story with WRONGFUL CONVICTION, reflecting on the support, solidarity, and shared purpose that bring exonerees together.

For Kristine, the most powerful moment is always the same: watching newly freed people stand up and be celebrated for the battles they fought to reclaim their lives.

Because every exoneration is more than a victory for one person. It's a victory for the entire movement.

This is Kristine Bunch.

She was just 21 years old when a fire took the life of her 3-year-old son, Anthony. Devastated by the loss of her child, Kristine was then accused of setting the fire herself.

Convicted of murder and arson based on deeply flawed forensic evidence, she spent 17 years in prison fighting to prove her innocence. During that time, she gave birth to another son, earned two college degrees, and refused to give up hope.

In 2012, Kristine finally walked free.

Today, as director of the @indianainnocenceproject, she has turned her fight for justice into a mission to help others who have been wrongfully convicted.

Listen to her story on WRONGFUL CONVICTION.

Greg Bright spent 27.5 years in prison for a murder he didn't commit. He fought for decades to prove his innocence and finally won his freedom. Now, after reaching Louisiana's $400,000 compensation cap for wrongfully convicted people who have proven their innocence, he may have to sell his home just to pay his bills.

State lawmakers unanimously passed a bill to increase compensation for the wrongfully convicted. Governor Jeff Landry vetoed it.

Hear Greg's story on Wrongful Conviction, wherever you get your podcasts.

This is Greg Bright.

He’s an artist, a performer, a homeowner, and a man who spent almost three decades in prison for a murder he did not commit. He was 20 years old when he was arrested. By the time he walked out of Angola State Prison, exonerated, he was nearly 50.

Greg taught himself to read and write in prison and eventually learned enough about the law to help fight for his freedom. After his exoneration, he built a life around creativity. He paints from his New Orleans home and worked with writer Lara Naughton to create "Never Fight a Shark in Water," a one-man show based on his life that he performs himself.

Louisiana can’t give Greg back the decades it took from him. And state law caps compensation for people who prove their factual innocence at $400,000—or $40k per year over 10 years. That's barely enough to live on. This year, lawmakers unanimously passed a bill raising that cap to $600,000 and extending payments from 10 to 15 years.

@govjefflandry vetoed it.

Greg used his compensation to help build a life after prison, including buying his home. Now, with his payments ending, he worries he may have to sell it.

Freddie Brinkley served 41 years and 364 days in prison for a series of robberies in Sacramento that he had nothing to do with. He had dozens of alibi witnesses and there was no physical evidence connecting him to these crimes but here’s the thing: both of the parents of the obvious suspect worked at the police department so it seems like they just had to find a fall guy.

It was an honor for me to work with @cassie_bordeaux and @lara.zarowsky to free Freddie several months ago. He is a phenomenal, gentle, smart, optimistic and kind person who can use some help since he has not (and likely will not) receive any compensation.

Jeffrey Deskovic spent 16 years in prison for a murder he didn’t commit. But his story didn’t end with his exoneration.

The same polygraph operator involved in extracting Jeffrey’s false confession would surface in Andrew Krivak’s case. Jeffrey would go on to help fight for Andrew’s freedom—even putting up his own home as collateral for his bail.

Now, as Bone Valley: The Devil’s Quarry II revisits the fallout of Andrew Krivak and Anthony DiPippo's cases, Jeffrey’s story offers important context for understanding how wrongful convictions happen—and how their consequences can echo across cases and decades.

Listen now to Wrongful Conviction.

I’m honored and humbled to be the recipient of this award from @washingtoninnocence which has helped to free so many innocent people. Together with my wonderful wife @khaliahali we will continue to fight alongside Lara Zarowsky and her team at the Washington Innocence Project to free Atif Rafay and others in the Pacific Northwest 🦋🐝

This is Jeffrey Deskovic.

He was just 16 when he was coerced into a false confession. At 17, he was sent to prison for a crime DNA evidence showed he did not commit. He wouldn’t walk free until he was 32—after nearly 16 years behind bars.

Jeffrey lost his high school years, his twenties, and countless milestones he could never get back. But after his exoneration, he dedicated his life to helping others who had been wrongfully convicted get back their freedom.

He founded the Jeffrey Deskovic Foundation for Justice, earned a law degree, became an attorney, and has worked to free wrongfully convicted people—turning his own experience into a lifelong fight for others.

Listen to Jeffrey's story on WRONGFUL CONVICTION.

Anthony DiPippo was serving 25 years to life for a murder he didn’t commit. From prison, he studied law and investigated his own case—uncovering evidence that pointed to another suspect. After nearly 20 years and three trials, Anthony was acquitted. But his investigation uncovered something else: the case of a missing girl, Robin Murphy.

Hear Anthony's story on WRONGFUL CONVICTION and tune in on Sept. 30 to BONE VALLEY: THE DEVIL'S QUARRY II to learn more about the case of Robin Murphy.

In prison for a brutal crime he did not commit, Anthony DiPippo began investigating the case that landed him there.

What he found astonished him: there had been another suspect all along, the police knew about him, and he seemed to have an M.O.—he had committed crimes like the one Anthony was convicted of over and over.

Learn more about Anthony's story on WRONGFUL CONVICTION. And tune into episode 1 of BONE VALLEY SEASON 6 | THE DEVIL'S QUARRY II to hear more about the case of a missing girl Anthony uncovered when fighting to prove his innocence.

This is Anthony DiPippo.

He was 19 years old when he was arrested for the rape and murder of 12-year-old Josette Wright—a crime he said from the beginning he did not commit. In 1997, he was convicted and sentenced to 25 years to life.

Anthony spent nearly two decades fighting to prove his innocence. From prison, he studied the law and investigated his own case, following evidence that pointed to another suspect.

Finally, at his third trial, a jury heard evidence that previous juries had not—including testimony from women who described being assaulted in ways that bore striking similarities to what happened to Josette.

On October 11, 2016, Anthony was acquitted. He walked out of court a free man after nearly 20 years.

But Anthony’s search for the truth didn’t just change his own case. In the evidence, he found another name: Robin Murphy, a teenage girl who had disappeared years earlier.

Her story—and what Anthony uncovered—is at the center of the new season of BONE VALLEY: THE DEVIL'S QUARRY II. Learn more about Anthony's case this week on WRONGFUL CONVICTION.
