Imagine being wrongfully convicted for a crime you didn't commit, or imagine your child's killer is still on the loose even though there's enough evidence for an arrest. I want to help shine light on the injustices of our judicial system. I delve into court documents, attend trials, and interview those close to the case to help me tell their stories.

OMG-this is sadly hilarious and an amazing glimpse into Ohio life- What’s the hiring process for the cops in these parts? Lol Gear up, because Saturday Night Live really needs to use this material - it’s pure comedy gold but sad it’s actually a real situation. Hmm, I’ve got to go- craving pound cake- hopefully Walmart has some lol - I’m visualizing a whole new brand- Lemon pound cake lol someone needs to copyright this ASAP- sorry to make fun but this is too much lol Im so thankful to be born and raised in California-
