Another Not Guilty

Another Not Guilty

Another Not Guilty tells the stories true crime won’t touch — the real cases where the government gets it wrong, the defense fights back, and justice somehow survives. Hosted by public defenders who’ve seen everything from police “oopsies” to prosecutorial plot twists, ANG gives you a front-row seat to the wild, emotional, hilarious, and infuriating world inside America’s courtrooms. Each episode features real public defenders sharing the cases that made them laugh, cry, or question reality. These are true stories of everyday people thrown into a system built to convict — and the defenders who fought like hell to prove otherwise. You’ll hear unforgettable cases like: • “Meth, Murder, and a Missing Boyfriend” — a dark, twisty saga with cartel rumors, a desert crime scene, and a defendant everyone assumed was guilty… until he wasn’t. • “Pin the Gun on the Homie” — where a gun supposedly teleported between suspects. • “Is That a Burrito in Your Pocket?” — where police mistook a wrapped burrito for a deadly weapon. • “Where Are Angie’s Pants?” — the chaotic courtroom showdown where missing pants became Exhibit A. Some stories are hilarious, some are heartbreaking, and some will make you want to flip a courtroom table — but they’re all true. We mix humor with honesty because that’s how public defenders survive this work: laughing so we don’t cry, telling the truth because others won’t, and fighting because someone’s freedom depends on it. This podcast is for:• True-crime fans who want the truth, not fear-based fiction • Law students, lawyers, public defenders, investigators • Anyone curious how trials actually work • People who love courtroom drama, dark humor, and underdog victories • Reform-minded listeners who want real insight into the criminal legal system • Folks tired of the “defendant is always guilty” narrative This is a true-crime–alternative podcast focused on wrongful accusations, police misconduct, wrongful arrests, jury trials, cross-examinations, defense investigations, forensic flaws, Fourth Amendment battles, prosecutorial overreach, and real courtroom strategy. The show highlights public defender cases involving unconstitutional searches, coerced pleas, chain-of-custody failures, bad photo lineups, questionable witness IDs, and systemic injustice across the criminal legal system. Topics include: wrongful convictions, criminal defense strategy, voir dire and jury selection, trial advocacy, body-cam breakdowns, suppression hearings, witness credibility, government misconduct, mental health in the justice system, mass incarceration, and the human stories hidden behind criminal accusations. Ideal for fans of true-crime alternatives, wrongful conviction podcasts, legal storytelling, police accountability, public defender content, and real courtroom audio. By blending authentic trial stories, expert legal insight, social-justice commentary, and humor, Another Not Guilty reveals what really happens in court — not the TV fantasy, but the human reality. These are the cases where ordinary people fought the system… and won. Learn more at www.anothernotguiltypod.com

    The Prick Gets Caught in the Zipper …? When the state tries to stitch up a case

    Editors note: This episode was originally released in Season 2 as two part episode. We have combined it to be one episode and give some of our newer listeners a chance to catch up on some of our "classic" NGs! The prosecution thought they had zipped up the case tight. No gaps, no questions, no chance for escape. But the truth has a way of slipping through, especially when a fearless public defender takes the stand. In this combined episode — Parts 1 and 2 brought together — we follow our fellow public defenders as they dismantle the state's so-called "airtight" story. Every witness who thought they were backing up the prosecution's narrative stumbled under sharp cross-examination. Every detail the state insisted was proof of guilt came undone, exposed as sloppy, incomplete, or outright misleading. What the state tried to package as justice turned out to be nothing but a messy zipper snag — and the defender was ready with the scissors. The comedy comes in watching the state scramble to explain their unraveling theory, while the tragedy lies in how close the system came to convicting someone on patchwork evidence. By combining the two parts into one episode, the full scope of the defender's strategy shines: from the first objection to the last word before the jury, it's a master class in fearless advocacy. And when the verdict came, it wasn't guilt — it was vindication. Another powerful reminder that even when the system tries to stitch up the innocent, a relentless public defender can tear through the seams.   Dive into more stories from the bold and brilliant public defenders wherever you listen to podcasts, and connect with us on social media: Stay Connected & Support the Show: ·         Website: anothernotguiltypod.com Another Not Guilty ·         Follow us on Instagram: @anothernotguilty ·         Find us on Facebook: Another Not Guilty ·         Support the show (potential bonus content!): Patreon
