#4 - WRONGFUL CONVCTION: The Ford Heights Four
Wrongful imprisonment is one of the worst things that the American government can do to someone, but even with modern forensic technology and investigative techniques, it still happens. This is one such case, wherein four innocent African American men were charged and convicted for the horrific rape and double homicide of Carol Schmal and Lawrence Lionberg in Ford Heights, Illinois in 1978.

#3 - HATE CRIME: The Freedom Summer Murders
During the summer of 1964, civil rights activists James Chaney, Michael Schwerner, and Andrew Goodman set out to register black Mississippians to vote. For this, they were murdered by Ku Klux Klan members. Chaney, Schwerner, and Goodman's murders set off a chain of events that called the racist culture of Mississippi, and of the nation as a whole, into question.

#2 - DEATH PENALTY CASE: Pervis Tyrone Payne
America is one of only five first world countries to still actively utilize the death penalty as a form of criminal punishment. Over the last century, certain protections have been put in place to protect underage and intellectually disabled offenders. But what happens when a state refuses to accept evidence of an offender’s mental disability? And what if that same offender may be innocent? In this episode, we examine the prosecution of Pervis Tyrone Payne for the 1987 murders of Charisse Christopher and Lacie Jo Christopher and the impending execution of Payne, despite doubts about his intellectual abilities and guilt.
If you feel that Pervis Payne’s execution should be stopped, please call the office of Tennessee Governor Bill Lee at (615) 741-2001, you could tweet to him, his twitter username is @GovBillLee, or you can email him through the Tennessee Government website https://www.tn.gov/governor/contact-us.html.
