In prisons across America, people are serving decades-long sentences for crimes they didn't commit. Some face a life sentence or even the death penalty. Yet there is no hope of exoneration because technically, these people aren't innocent. They may not be guilty as a matter of fact, but they are guilty as a matter of law. On this episode, we dissect the felony murder doctrine and explore the various ways our system transfers culpability. We also talk to Marlon Peterson, an advocate, writer, and host of the podcast DEcarcerated. Marlon became a leader on this issue after he was convicted of felony murder and spent a decade in prison. He spoke about his experience in prison and the work he's done since his release.
