In this bonus episode of Trust Company Talks, Bill Noble and Burke Koonce sit down with the Executive Director of the North Carolina Center on Actual Innocence, Christine (Chris) Mumma, for an inspiring conversation about advocating for the wrongfully convicted.

Chris shares the mission of the Center, which focuses on investigating claims of innocence, pursuing policy reform and providing reentry services for exonerees. The conversation brings attention to:

• The challenges exonerees face, from lack of support to hurdles in receiving compensation.
• Success stories, like Greg Taylor and Willie Grimes, and the lessons learned from their journeys.
• The Joseph Sledge House of Healing, supported by businesses like Trust Company and Lowe's, is a groundbreaking initiative redefining reentry support and providing a community for exonerees.

Chris also discusses the importance of pardons for exonerees, ongoing systemic reform efforts and the need for community involvement to sustain these programs.

Listen to learn how dedicated efforts and community involvement are making a positive impact in the lives of exonerees.
