Believe it or not, there are many reasons to plead guilty when you’re not. Plea deals are necessary to fight crime. Without them, our criminal justice system would grind to a halt, and guilty citizens would run free. The downside is that plea deals can ensnare innocent people. Even more scary, once someone admits to a crime they didn’t commit, it can take decades to get them out of prison. So why would anyone plead guilty to something they didn’t do?

Michael Semanchik, Executive Director of The Innocence Center, invites special guests Justin Brooks, founder of the California Innocence Project, and former Los Angeles County Prosecutor Wayne Little, to discuss.
