Episode Details

Wrongful conviction in Canada is still new information to most people who hear it, even after documentaries, headlines, and high-profile cases. Kelly Lauzon has been teaching it for over a decade and says it never stops being the first time someone in the room has really heard it.

There is a specific kind of fear that follows someone home after wrongful imprisonment. Not just trust issues or the strangeness of a world that kept moving without them. For some, it is the knowledge that they went in once for something they did not do, and nothing guarantees it could not happen again.

Ron Dalton lost 10 years, a wife he never got to grieve, and his children's childhoods. He came out still feeling sorry for the doctor whose mistake started it. That is either the most human response imaginable or the most disorienting. Possibly both.
