#174 Wrongful Conviction: False Confessions - Eric Weakley and Michael Hash


Listen Later

Michael was serving a life sentence until one person came to his rescue: his mom.

Laura Nirider and Steve Drizin bring us to Culpeper County, Virginia, to tell the story of teenage buddies Eric Weakley and Michael Hash. Local police solved a murder case by coercing Eric into falsely confessing and into falsely implicating his friend Michael as an accomplice. For years, lawyers couldn’t get justice for either of them -- until Michael’s mom found evidence that blew this case wide open.

If you want to support Eric Weakley’s pardon petition, you can write to the governor of Virginia.
