Innocent and Exonerated & Women’s Legal Issues

Kathryn interviews attorney Nikki D. Pope and chef Courtney B. Lance, authors of “Pruno, Ramen, and a Side of Hope: Stories of Surviving Wrongful Convictions”. If you were given a prison sentence of 25 to life for a crime you didn’t commit, what would give you hope that you would someday be exonerated? These are the questions that authors Pope and Lance asked victims of wrongful convictions; innocent men and women who eventually proved their innocence and were released from prison. Kathryn also interviews lawyer Lisa Green, author of “On Your Case: A Comprehensive, Compassionate (and Only Slightly Bossy) Legal Guide for Every Stage of a Woman’s Life”. Green fills a long-standing gap in women's bookshelves with a thorough, compelling and hilarious guide to the range of legal issues women can expect to confront throughout their busy lives. Green was a reporter and columnist for The National Law Journal and is currently an on-air legal analyst appearing on NBC News and MSNBC.
